// Wrapper that makes an nsIThreadPool a singleton, and provides a
// consistent threadsafe interface to get instances. Callers simply get a
// SharedThreadPool by the name of its nsIThreadPool. All get requests of
// the same name get the same SharedThreadPool. Users must store a reference
// to the pool, and when the last reference to a SharedThreadPool is dropped
// the pool is shutdown and deleted. Users aren't required to manually
// shutdown the pool, and can release references on any thread. This can make
// it significantly easier to use thread pools, because the caller doesn't need
// to worry about joining and tearing it down.
//
// On Windows all threads in the pool have MSCOM initialized with
// COINIT_MULTITHREADED. Note that not all users of MSCOM use this mode see [1],
// and mixing MSCOM objects between the two is terrible for performance, and can
// cause some functions to fail. So be careful when using Win32 APIs on a
// SharedThreadPool, and avoid sharing objects if at all possible.
