// The structure of these classes (Action, ActionPipe, ActionProcessor, etc.)
// is based on the KSAction* classes from the Google Update Engine code at
// http://code.google.com/p/update-engine/ . The author of this file sends
// a big thanks to that team for their high quality design, implementation,
// and documentation.

// This class serves as a temporary holding area for an object passed out
// from one Action and into another Action. It's templated so that it may
// contain any type of object that an Action outputs/inputs. Actions
// cannot be bonded (i.e., connected with a pipe) if their output/input
// object types differ (a compiler error will result).
//
// An ActionPipe is generally created with the Bond() method and owned by
// the two Action objects. a shared_ptr is used so that when the last Action
// pointing to an ActionPipe dies, the ActionPipe dies, too.
