10 ** API for NSPR threads. On some architectures (Mac OS Classic
11 ** notably) pre-emptibility is not guaranteed. Hard priority scheduling
12 ** is not guaranteed, so programming using priority based synchronization
13 ** is a no-no.
14 **
15 ** NSPR threads are scheduled based loosely on their client set priority.
16 ** In general, a thread of a higher priority has a statistically better
17 ** chance of running relative to threads of lower priority. However,
18 ** NSPR uses multiple strategies to provide execution vehicles for thread
19 ** abstraction of various host platforms. As it turns out, there is little
20 ** NSPR can do to affect the scheduling attributes of "GLOBAL" threads.
21 ** However, a semblance of GLOBAL threads is used to implement "LOCAL"
22 ** threads. An arbitrary number of such LOCAL threads can be assigned to
23 ** a single GLOBAL thread.
24 **
25 ** For scheduling, NSPR will attempt to run the highest priority LOCAL
26 ** thread associated with a given GLOBAL thread. It is further assumed
27 ** that the host OS will apply some form of "fair" scheduling on the
28 ** GLOBAL threads.
29 **
30 ** Threads have a "system flag" which when set indicates the thread
31 ** doesn't count for determining when the process should exit (the
32 ** process exits when the last user thread exits).
33 **
34 ** Threads also have a "scope flag" which controls whether the threads
35 ** are scheduled in the local scope or scheduled by the OS globally. This
36 ** indicates whether a thread is permanently bound to a native OS thread.
37 ** An unbound thread competes for scheduling resources in the same process.
38 **
39 ** Another flag is "state flag" which control whether the thread is joinable.
40 ** It allows other threads to wait for the created thread to reach completion.
41 **
42 ** Threads can have "per-thread-data" attached to them. Each thread has a
43 ** per-thread error number and error string which are updated when NSPR
44 ** operations fail.
