// This module provides some helper functions for logging actions tracked by
// the user metrics system.

// For best practices on deciding when to emit a user action, see
// https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/HEAD/tools/metrics/actions/README.md

// Record that the user performed an action.
// This function must be called after the task runner has been set with
// SetRecordActionTaskRunner().
//
// "Action" here means a user-generated event:
//   good: "Reload", "CloseTab", and "IMEInvoked"
//   not good: "SSLDialogShown", "PageLoaded", "DiskFull"
// We use this to gather anonymized information about how users are
// interacting with the browser.
// WARNING: In calls to this function, UserMetricsAction should be followed by a
// string literal parameter and not a variable e.g.
//   RecordAction(UserMetricsAction("my action name"));
// This ensures that our processing scripts can associate this action's hash
// with its metric name. Therefore, it will be possible to retrieve the metric
// name from the hash later on.
//
// Once a new recorded action is added, run
//   tools/metrics/actions/extract_actions.py
// to add the metric to actions.xml, then update the <owner>s and <description>
// sections. Make sure to include the actions.xml file when you upload your code
// for review!
//
// For more complicated situations (like when there are many different
// possible actions), see RecordComputedAction().
BASE_EXPORT void RecordAction(const UserMetricsAction& action);

// This function has identical input and behavior to RecordAction(), but is
// not automatically found by the action-processing scripts.  It can be used
// when it's a pain to enumerate all possible actions, but if you use this
// you need to also update the rules for extracting known actions in
// tools/metrics/actions/extract_actions.py.
// This function must be called after the task runner has been set with
// SetRecordActionTaskRunner().

// the action was observed.
