// This header file provides wrapper for common WebRTC utilities.
// Different application may need different implementations of these utilities,
// Moreover, single application may need to use WebRTC for multiple purposes,
// and thus would need to provide different utilities implementations for
// different peer connections.
// The main purpose of the `Environment` class below is to propagate references
// to those utilities to all WebRTC classes that need them.

// Contains references to WebRTC utilities. Object of this class should be
// passed as a construction parameter and saved by value in each class that
// needs it. Most classes shouldn't create a new instance of the `Environment`,
// but instead should use a propagated copy.
// Usually Environment should be the first parameter in a constructor or a
// factory, and the first member in the class. Keeping Environment as the first
// member in the class ensures utilities (e.g. clock) are still valid during
// destruction of other members.
//
// Example:
//    class PeerConnection {
//     public:
//      PeerConnection(const Environment& env, ...)
//          : env_(env),
//            log_duration_on_destruction_(&env_.clock()),
//            rtp_manager_(env_, ...),
//            ...
//
//      const FieldTrialsView& trials() const { return env_.field_trials(); }

//      const Environment env_;
