/**

*/
struct PPB_Messaging_1_2 {
/**
* PostMessage() asynchronously invokes any listeners for message events on
* the DOM element for the given module instance. A call to PostMessage()
* will not block while the message is processed.
*
* @param[in] instance A PP_Instance identifying one instance
* of a module.
* @param[in] message A PP_Var containing the data to be sent to
* JavaScript.
* message can be any PP_Var type except
* PP_VARTYPE_OBJECT. Array/Dictionary types are supported from
* Chrome M29 onward. All var types are copied when passing them to
* JavaScript.
*
* When passing array or dictionary PP_Vars, the entire reference
* graph will be converted and transferred. If the reference graph has cycles,
* the message will not be sent and an error will be logged to the console.
*
* Listeners for message events in JavaScript code will receive an object
* conforming to the HTML 5 MessageEvent interface.
* Specifically, the value of message will be contained as a property called
* data in the received MessageEvent.
*
* This messaging system is similar to the system used for listening for
* messages from Web Workers. Refer to
* http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-workers/current-work/ for
* further information.
*
* Example:
*
* @code
*
*
*
*
*
*
* @endcode
*
* The module instance then invokes PostMessage() as follows:
*
* @code
*
* char hello_world[] = "Hello world!";
* PP_Var hello_var = ppb_var_interface->VarFromUtf8(instance,
* hello_world,
* sizeof(hello_world));
* ppb_messaging_interface->PostMessage(instance, hello_var); // Copies var.
* ppb_var_interface->Release(hello_var);
*
* @endcode
*
* The browser will pop-up an alert saying "Hello world!"

/**
* Registers a handler for receiving messages from JavaScript. If a handler
* is registered this way, it will replace PPP_Messaging, and all messages
* sent from JavaScript via postMessage and postMessageAndAwaitResponse will
* be dispatched to handler.
*
* The function calls will be dispatched via message_loop. This
* means that the functions will be invoked on the thread to which
* message_loop is attached, when message_loop is
* run. It is illegal to pass the main thread message loop;
* RegisterMessageHandler will return PP_ERROR_WRONG_THREAD in that case.
* If you quit message_loop before calling Unregister(),
* the browser will not be able to call functions in the plugin's message
* handler any more. That could mean missing some messages or could cause a
* leak if you depend on Destroy() to free hander data. So you should,
* whenever possible, Unregister() the handler prior to quitting its event
* loop.
*
* Attempting to register a message handler when one is already registered
* will cause the current MessageHandler to be unregistered and replaced. In
* that case, no messages will be sent to the "default" message handler
* (PPP_Messaging). Messages will stop arriving at the prior message handler
* and will begin to be dispatched at the new message handler.
*
* @param[in] instance A PP_Instance identifying one instance
* of a module.
* @param[in] user_data A pointer the plugin may choose to use when handling
* calls to functions within PPP_MessageHandler. The browser will pass this
* same pointer when invoking functions within PPP_MessageHandler.
* @param[in] handler The plugin-provided set of functions for handling
* messages.
* @param[in] message_loop Represents the message loop on which
* PPP_MessageHandler functions should be invoked.
* @return PP_OK on success, or an error from pp_errors.h.
