// Simple threads.

/* This file defines types making a simple interface to
   multi-threading.

   The file provides the following interfaces:
   \unorderedlist
   \li |detach_thread| is a pure virtual class, which must be inherited and a
   method |operator()()| be implemented as the running code of the
   thread.
   \li |detach_thread_group| allows insertion of |detach_thread|s and running
   all of them simultaneously. The threads
   are not joined, they are synchronized by means of a counter counting
   running threads. A change of the counter is checked by waiting on an
   associated condition. The number of maximum parallel
   threads can be controlled. See below. The group also provides a mutex to be
   shared between the workers for their own synchronization purposes.
   \endunorderedlist

   The number of maximum parallel threads is controlled via a static
   member of the |detach_thread_group| class. */
