/* This file contains primitives for creating and controlling threads.

   Thread data type: gl_thread_t.

   Creating a thread:
       thread = gl_thread_create (func, arg);
   Or with control of error handling:
       err = glthread_create (&thread, func, arg);
       extern int glthread_create (gl_thread_t *result,
                                   void *(*func) (void *), void *arg);

   Querying and changing the signal mask of a thread (not supported on all
   platforms):
       gl_thread_sigmask (how, newmask, oldmask);
   Or with control of error handling:
       err = glthread_sigmask (how, newmask, oldmask);
       extern int glthread_sigmask (int how, const sigset_t *newmask, sigset_t *oldmask);

   Waiting for termination of another thread:
       gl_thread_join (thread, &return_value);
   Or with control of error handling:
       err = glthread_join (thread, &return_value);
       extern int glthread_join (gl_thread_t thread, void **return_value_ptr);

   Getting a reference to the current thread:
       current = gl_thread_self ();
       extern gl_thread_t gl_thread_self (void);

   Getting a reference to the current thread as a pointer, for debugging:
       ptr = gl_thread_self_pointer ();
       extern void * gl_thread_self_pointer (void);

   Terminating the current thread:
       gl_thread_exit (return_value);
       extern _Noreturn void gl_thread_exit (void *return_value);

   Requesting custom code to be executed at fork() time (not supported on all
   platforms):
       gl_thread_atfork (prepare_func, parent_func, child_func);
   Or with control of error handling:
       err = glthread_atfork (prepare_func, parent_func, child_func);
       extern int glthread_atfork (void (*prepare_func) (void),
                                   void (*parent_func) (void),
                                   void (*child_func) (void));
   Note that even on platforms where this is supported, use of fork() and
   threads together is problematic, see
     <https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-gnulib/2008-08/msg00062.html>
