/// The `Engine` pointer data dispatcher that forwards the packet received from
/// `PlatformView::DispatchPointerDataPacket` on the platform thread, to
/// `Window::DispatchPointerDataPacket` on the UI thread.
///
/// This class is used to filter the packets so the Flutter framework on the UI
/// thread will receive packets with some desired properties. See
/// `SmoothPointerDataDispatcher` for an example which filters irregularly
/// delivered packets, and dispatches them in sync with the VSYNC signal.
///
/// This object will be owned by the engine because it relies on the engine's
/// `Animator` (which owns `VsyncWaiter`) and `RuntimeController` to do the
/// filtering. This object is currently designed to be only called from the UI
/// thread (no thread safety is guaranteed).
///
/// The `PlatformView` decides which subclass of `PointerDataDispatcher` is
/// constructed by sending a `PointerDataDispatcherMaker` to the engine's
/// constructor in `Shell::CreateShellOnPlatformThread`. This is needed because:
/// (1) Different platforms (e.g., Android, iOS) have different dispatchers
/// so the decision has to be made per `PlatformView`.
/// (2) The `PlatformView` can only be accessed from the PlatformThread while
/// this class (as owned by engine) can only be accessed in the UI thread.
/// Hence `PlatformView` creates a `PointerDataDispatchMaker` on the
/// platform thread, and sends it to the UI thread for the final
/// construction of the `PointerDataDispatcher`.

/// UI thread. If there is no AsyncWaitForVsync callback
/// (`Animator::RequestFrame` is not called), this secondary
/// callback will still be executed at vsync.

/// A dispatcher that may temporarily store and defer the last received
/// PointerDataPacket if multiple packets are received in one VSYNC. The
/// deferred packet will be sent in the next vsync in order to smooth out the
/// events. This filters out irregular input events delivery to provide a smooth
/// scroll on iPhone X/Xs.
///
/// It works as follows:
///
/// When `DispatchPacket` is called while a preivous pointer data dispatch is
/// still in progress (its frame isn't finished yet), it means that an input
/// event is delivered to us too fast. That potentially means a later event will
/// be too late which could cause the missing of a frame. Hence we'll cache it
/// in `pending_packet_` for the next frame to smooth it out.
///
/// If the input event is sent to us regularly at the same rate of VSYNC (say
/// at 60Hz), this would be identical to `DefaultPointerDataDispatcher` where
/// `runtime_controller_->DispatchPointerDataPacket` is always called right
/// away. That's because `is_pointer_data_in_progress_` will always be false
/// when `DispatchPacket` is called since it will be cleared by the end of a
/// frame through `ScheduleSecondaryVsyncCallback`. This is the case for all
/// Android/iOS devices before iPhone X/XS.
///
/// If the input event is irregular, but with a random latency of no more than
/// one frame, this would guarantee that we'll miss at most 1 frame. Without
/// this, we could miss half of the frames.
///
/// If the input event is delivered at a higher rate than that of VSYNC, this
/// would at most add a latency of one event delivery. For example, if the
/// input event is delivered at 120Hz (this is only true for iPad pro, not even
/// iPhone X), this may delay the handling of an input event by 8ms.
///
/// The assumption of this solution is that the sampling itself is still
/// regular. Only the event delivery is allowed to be irregular. So far this
/// assumption seems to hold on all devices. If it's changed in the future,
/// we'll need a different solution.
///
/// See also input_events_unittests.cc where we test all our claims above.
