// SYNOPSIS
//
        void thread_pool_decrement_busy( void *p )
//
// DESCRIPTION
//
//      This is a clean-up function that is called to decrement the number of
//      threads that are "busy" performing a task.  It gets called either when
//      (1) thread::main() completes its task or (2) if the thread gets killed
//      while performing its task.  A clean-up function is used to guarantee
//      that this happends for case (2).
//
// NOTE
//
//      This function is declared extern "C" since it is called via the C
//      library function pthread_cleanup_push() and, because it's a C function,
//      it expects C linkage.
//
// PARAMETERS
//
//      p   Pointer to an instance of a thread_pool::thread.
//

// SYNOPSIS

//
// DESCRIPTION
//
//      This is a thread-specific data "destructor" (in the POSIX thread sense,
//      not in the C++ sense).  Its job is to destroy this POSIX thread's
//      associated thread object.
//
// PARAMETERS
//
//      p   Pointer to an instance of a thread_pool::thread.

//*****************************************************************************
//
// SYNOPSIS
//
        void* thread_pool_thread_main( void *p )
//
// DESCRIPTION
//
//      This is the starting point of execution for a POSIX thread.  It waits
//      for a task to appear in its thread pool's task queue and performs the
//      task.  After completion, it waits for the next task.
//
//      If more threads currently exist than the minimum requested (because
//      more were created as a result of a high request load), then only wait a
//      finite amount of time for a task to appear.  If no task appears in that
//      amount of time, then the request load must've lessened so we can
//      destroy this POSIX thread.
//
// NOTE
//
//      This function is declared extern "C" since it is called via the C
//      library function pthread_create() and, because it's a C function, it
//      expects C linkage.
//
// PARAMETERS
//
//      p   Pointer to an instance of a thread_pool::thread.
//
// RETURN VALUE
//
//      This function never returns.  It goes away only when the thread is
//      destroyed.  The "return 0" at the end is just to make the C++ compiler
//      happy.
