/*
|
|
** API for NSPR threads. On some architectures (MAC and WIN16
|
|
** notably) pre-emptibility is not guaranteed. Hard priority scheduling
|
|
** is not guaranteed, so programming using priority based synchronization
|
|
** is a no-no.
|
|
**
|
|
** NSPR threads are scheduled based loosly on their client set priority.
|
|
** In general, a thread of a higher priority has a statistically better
|
|
** chance of running relative to threads of lower priority. However,
|
|
** NSPR uses multiple strategies to provide execution vehicles for thread
|
|
** abstraction of various host platforms. As it turns out, there is little
|
|
** NSPR can do to affect the scheduling attributes of "GLOBAL" threads.
|
|
** However, a semblance of GLOBAL threads is used to implement "LOCAL"
|
|
** threads. An arbitrary number of such LOCAL threads can be assigned to
|
|
** a single GLOBAL thread.
|
|
**
|
|
** For scheduling, NSPR will attempt to run the highest priority LOCAL
|
|
** thread associated with a given GLOBAL thread. It is further assumed
|
|
** that the host OS will apply some form of "fair" scheduling on the
|
|
** GLOBAL threads.
|
|
**
|
|
** Threads have a "system flag" which when set indicates the thread
|
|
** doesn't count for determining when the process should exit (the
|
|
** process exits when the last user thread exits).
|
|
**
|
|
** Threads also have a "scope flag" which controls whether the threads
|
|
** are scheduled in the local scope or scheduled by the OS globally. This
|
|
** indicates whether a thread is permanently bound to a native OS thread.
|
|
** An unbound thread competes for scheduling resources in the same process.
|
|
**
|
|
** Another flag is "state flag" which control whether the thread is joinable.
|
|
** It allows other threads to wait for the created thread to reach completion.
|
|
**
|
|
** Threads can have "per-thread-data" attached to them. Each thread has a
|
|
** per-thread error number and error string which are updated when NSPR
|
|
** operations fail.
