/*!
 * \brief Image stream implementation
 *
 * WF native stream is an abstraction of image stream or
 * a content pipe that can be used to deliver image data from
 * place to another. A stream has a producer (source) and a consumer
 * (sink) as its users.
 *
 * Streams operate on buffers, whose count is fixed at creation
 * time (minimum is 1, but for non-blocking behavior values
 * greater than 1 should be used.) Streams are meant to be used
 * strictly on "point-to-point" basis, i.e. there should be only
 * one producer and one consumer for each stream.
 *

@param  aId The TSurfaceId for the surface to encapsulate.

@pre
    -   aId must not be a NULL pointer
    -   aReturnHandle must not be a NULL pointer, and must point to writable storage for the handle.
    -   aId must be a valid active Surface ID created by the Surface Manager.
        -   In particular, aId->IsNull() should return EFalse.
    -   Calls can be safely made from any thread, but the same default heap must be in place for all calls. The thread should have an activated clean-up stack.
@post
    The location pointed to by aReturnHandle is set to a valid Native Stream object and KErrNone is returned, or NULL is set and an error code is returned appropriately.
    The method may fail due to memory allocation if the Native Stream does not already exist.
    If a stream object is successfully created, then the reference on the stream is increased to ensure it remains live following the method call. See SymbianStreamRemoveReference to release the reference.

/** Opens the current output buffer of the Native Stream object for non-exclusive reading.

@param  aStream Native Stream handle that is to be accessed.
@param  aReturnBuffer   Filled with the handle to use to access the current read buffer

@pre
    -   aStream must be an active Native Stream object. It must not be NULL.
    -   aReturnBuffer must not be a NULL pointer, and must point to writable storage for the handle.
    -   Calls can be safely made from any thread, but the same default heap must be in place for all calls. The thread should have an activated clean-up stack.
    -   To simplify composition, SymbianStreamAcquireReadBuffer will never fail. It will arbitrarily select a buffer if the stream has never been written to or updated.
@post
    -   This method always succeeds and returns quickly.
    -   The current read buffer is locked for reading.
    -   The location pointed to by aReturnBuffer is set to a handle representing the read buffer at the time of this call.
    -   Many readers may access the same buffer, but if the Native Stream represents a multi-buffered TSurfaceId content, writers are blocked from overwriting the current read buffer, which will be the last buffer successfully written to.
        -   In single-buffered streams, the content of the buffer may be overwritten while the reader is reading it, leading to tearing, but this behavior is generally considered preferable to blocking the reader.
    -   The Native Stream will not be destroyed while buffers are acquired.
    -   Note that no operations likely to cause failure will occur during the acquire method, but successful acquire does not guarantee that the buffer pixel data can be successfully mapped using NativeStreamGetBufferPointer.

@pre
    -   aStream must be an active Native Stream object. It must not be NULL.
    -   aReturnBuffer must not be a NULL pointer, and must point to writable storage for the handle.
    -   In single-buffered Native Streams, access is not controlled, any number of readers and/or writer(s) may access the buffer simultaneously, potentially leading to tearing, but this behavior is generally considered preferable to blocking the reader.
    -   In multi-buffered Native Streams, the next write buffer must be available, or the method call will fail and return an error. It may fail in three scenarios:
        -   There is already an active writer
        -   There are still readers attached to the next write buffer candidate (in buffer swapping architectures)
        -   The copy from write buffer to read buffer is ongoing, or waiting for readers (in buffer copying architectures)
    -   Calls can be safely made from any thread, but the same default heap must be in place for all calls. The thread should have an activated clean-up stack.
@post
    -   This method returns quickly.
    -   If the write buffer cannot be acquired immediately then an error code is returned, indicating why exclusive access to a writable buffer could not be obtained.
    -   If the write buffer is acquired the KErrNone is returned, and the contents referenced by aReturnBuffer are filled with a handle representing the current write buffer. The current write buffer is locked for writing.
    -   The Native Stream will not be destroyed while buffers are acquired.
    -   Note that no resource operations likely to cause failure will occur during the acquire method, but successful acquire does not guarantee that the buffer pixel data can be successfully mapped using NativeStreamGetBufferPointer.
