t is presumed that the reader is familiar with the boost::thread library and
basic concepts of multi-threaded programming such as deadlock, starvation and
race condition.
The boost library is the principal implementation tool of this project.
However, we avoid hard coding of such implementation choice by introducing a
template-based layer that encapsulates most external primitives. We introduce
several additional primitives designed to prevent starvation and race
condition. The traditional primitives for exception-safe locking are also
present.
The exception safety is identical to the exception safety of boost::thread.
Everything that locks may throw ots::config::ThreadResourceError. Some join
and sleep-like functions throw ots::config::ThreadInterrupted.
