/// @class Communication Communication.h "lldb/Core/Communication.h"
/// @brief An abstract communications class.
///
/// Communication is an class that handles data communication
/// between two data sources. It uses a Connection class to do the
/// real communication. This approach has a couple of advantages: it
/// allows a single instance of this class to be used even though its
/// connection can change. Connections could negotiate for different
/// connections based on abilities like starting with Bluetooth and
/// negotiating up to WiFi if available. It also allows this class to be
/// subclassed by any interfaces that don't want to give bytes but want
/// to validate and give out packets. This can be done by overriding:
///
/// AppendBytesToCache (const uint8_t *src, size_t src_len, bool broadcast);
///
/// Communication inherits from Broadcaster which means it can be
/// used in conjunction with Listener to wait for multiple broadcaster
/// objects and multiple events from each of those objects.
/// Communication defines a set of pre-defined event bits (see
/// enumerations definitions that start with "eBroadcastBit" below).
///
/// There are two modes in which communications can occur:
///     @li single-threaded
///     @li multi-threaded
///
/// In single-threaded mode, all reads and writes happen synchronously
/// on the calling thread.
///
/// In multi-threaded mode, a read thread is spawned that continually
/// reads data and caches any received bytes. To start the read thread
/// clients call:
///
///     bool Communication::StartReadThread (Error *);
///
/// If true is returned a read thead has been spawned that will
/// continually execute a call to the pure virtual DoRead function:
///
///     size_t Communication::ReadFromConnection (void *, size_t, uint32_t);
///
/// When bytes are received the data gets cached in \a m_bytes and this
/// class will broadcast a \b eBroadcastBitReadThreadGotBytes event.
/// Clients that want packet based communication should override
/// AppendBytesToCache. The subclasses can choose to call the
/// built in AppendBytesToCache with the \a broadcast parameter set to
/// false. This will cause the \b eBroadcastBitReadThreadGotBytes event
/// not get broadcast, and then the subclass can post a \b
/// eBroadcastBitPacketAvailable event when a full packet of data has
/// been received.
///
/// If the connection is disconnected a \b eBroadcastBitDisconnected
/// event gets broadcast. If the read thread exits a \b
/// eBroadcastBitReadThreadDidExit event will be broadcast. Clients
/// can also post a \b eBroadcastBitReadThreadShouldExit event to this
/// object which will cause the read thread to exit.
