/**
 * You may optionally set a receive filter for the socket.
 * A filter can provide several useful features:
 *    
 * 1. Many times udp packets need to be parsed.
 *    Since the filter can run in its own independent queue, you can parallelize this parsing quite easily.
 *    The end result is a parallel socket io, datagram parsing, and packet processing.
 * 
 * 2. Many times udp packets are discarded because they are duplicate/unneeded/unsolicited.
 *    The filter can prevent such packets from arriving at the delegate.
 *    And because the filter can run in its own independent queue, this doesn't slow down the delegate.
 * 
 *    - Since the udp protocol does not guarantee delivery, udp packets may be lost.
 *      Many protocols built atop udp thus provide various resend/re-request algorithms.
 *      This sometimes results in duplicate packets arriving.
 *      A filter may allow you to architect the duplicate detection code to run in parallel to normal processing.
 *    
 *    - Since the udp socket may be connectionless, its possible for unsolicited packets to arrive.
 *      Such packets need to be ignored.
 * 
 * 3. Sometimes traffic shapers are needed to simulate real world environments.
 *    A filter allows you to write custom code to simulate such environments.
 *    The ability to code this yourself is especially helpful when your simulated environment
 *    is more complicated than simple traffic shaping (e.g. simulating a cone port restricted router),
 *    or the system tools to handle this aren't available (e.g. on a mobile device).
 * 
 * @param data    - The packet that was received.
 * @param address - The address the data was received from.
 *                  See utilities section for methods to extract info from address.
 * @param context - Out parameter you may optionally set, which will then be passed to the delegate method.
 *                  For example, filter block can parse the data and then,
 *                  pass the parsed data to the delegate.
 * 
 * @returns - YES if the received packet should be passed onto the delegate.
 *            NO if the received packet should be discarded, and not reported to the delegete.
 * 
 * Example:
 * 
 * GCDAsyncUdpSocketReceiveFilterBlock filter = ^BOOL (NSData *data, NSData *address, id *context) {
 * 
 *     MyProtocolMessage *msg = [MyProtocol parseMessage:data];
 *     
 *     *context = response;
 *     return (response != nil);
 * };
 * [udpSocket setReceiveFilter:filter withQueue:myParsingQueue];

 *    The end result is a parallel socket io, datagram parsing, and packet processing.
 * 
 * 2. Many times udp packets are discarded because they are duplicate/unneeded/unsolicited.
 *    The filter can prevent such packets from arriving at the delegate.
 *    And because the filter can run in its own independent queue, this doesn't slow down the delegate.
 * 
 *    - Since the udp protocol does not guarantee delivery, udp packets may be lost.
 *      Many protocols built atop udp thus provide various resend/re-request algorithms.
 *      This sometimes results in duplicate packets arriving.
 *      A filter may allow you to architect the duplicate detection code to run in parallel to normal processing.
 *    
 *    - Since the udp socket may be connectionless, its possible for unsolicited packets to arrive.
 *      Such packets need to be ignored.
 * 
 * 3. Sometimes traffic shapers are needed to simulate real world environments.
 *    A filter allows you to write custom code to simulate such environments.
 *    The ability to code this yourself is especially helpful when your simulated environment
 *    is more complicated than simple traffic shaping (e.g. simulating a cone port restricted router),
 *    or the system tools to handle this aren't available (e.g. on a mobile device).
 * 
 * Example:
 * 
 * GCDAsyncUdpSocketReceiveFilterBlock filter = ^BOOL (NSData *data, NSData *address, id *context) {
 * 
 *     MyProtocolMessage *msg = [MyProtocol parseMessage:data];
 *     
 *     *context = response;
 *     return (response != nil);
 * };
 * [udpSocket setReceiveFilter:filter withQueue:myParsingQueue];
 * 
 * For more information about GCDAsyncUdpSocketReceiveFilterBlock, see the documentation for its typedef.
 * To remove a previously set filter, invoke this method and pass a nil filterBlock and NULL filterQueue.
 * 
 * Note: This method invokes setReceiveFilter:withQueue:isAsynchronous: (documented below),
 *       passing YES for the isAsynchronous parameter.

 * The receive filter can be run via dispatch_async or dispatch_sync.
 * Most typical situations call for asynchronous operation.
 * 
 * However, there are a few situations in which synchronous operation is preferred.
 * Such is the case when the filter is extremely minimal and fast.
 * This is because dispatch_sync is faster than dispatch_async.
 * 
 * If you choose synchronous operation, be aware of possible deadlock conditions.
 * Since the socket queue is executing your block via dispatch_sync,
 * then you cannot perform any tasks which may invoke dispatch_sync on the socket queue.

/**
 * It's not thread-safe to access certain variables from outside the socket's internal queue.
 * 
 * For example, the socket file descriptor.
 * File descriptors are simply integers which reference an index in the per-process file table.
 * However, when one requests a new file descriptor (by opening a file or socket),
 * the file descriptor returned is guaranteed to be the lowest numbered unused descriptor.
 * So if we're not careful, the following could be possible:
 * 
 * - Thread A invokes a method which returns the socket's file descriptor.
 * - The socket is closed via the socket's internal queue on thread B.
 * - Thread C opens a file, and subsequently receives the file descriptor that was previously the socket's FD.
 * - Thread A is now accessing/altering the file instead of the socket.
 * 
 * In addition to this, other variables are not actually objects,
 * and thus cannot be retained/released or even autoreleased.
 * An example is the sslContext, of type SSLContextRef, which is actually a malloc'd struct.
 * 
 * Although there are internal variables that make it difficult to maintain thread-safety,
 * it is important to provide access to these variables
 * to ensure this class can be used in a wide array of environments.
 * This method helps to accomplish this by invoking the current block on the socket's internal queue.
 * The methods below can be invoked from within the block to access
 * those generally thread-unsafe internal variables in a thread-safe manner.
 * The given block will be invoked synchronously on the socket's internal queue.
 * 
 * If you save references to any protected variables and use them outside the block, you do so at your own peril.
