# --
#  feature:
#  provides synchronization for multiple threads.
#
#  class methods:
#  * ThreadsWait.all_waits(thread1,...)
#    waits until all of specified threads are terminated.
#    if a block is supplied for the method, evaluates it for
#    each thread termination.
#  * th = ThreadsWait.new(thread1,...)
#    creates synchronization object, specifying thread(s) to wait.
#
#  methods:
#  * th.threads
#    list threads to be synchronized
#  * th.empty?
#    is there any thread to be synchronized.
#  * th.finished?
#    is there already terminated thread.
#  * th.join(thread1,...)
#    wait for specified thread(s).
#  * th.join_nowait(threa1,...)
#    specifies thread(s) to wait.  non-blocking.
#  * th.next_wait
#    waits until any of specified threads is terminated.
#  * th.all_waits
#    waits until all of specified threads are terminated.
#    if a block is supplied for the method, evaluates it for
#    each thread termination.

# This class watches for termination of multiple threads.  Basic functionality
# (wait until specified threads have terminated) can be accessed through the
# class method ThreadsWait::all_waits.  Finer control can be gained using
# instance methods.
#
# Example:
#
#   ThreadsWait.all_wait(thr1, thr2, ...) do |t|
#     STDERR.puts "Thread #{t} has terminated."
#   end
#

# Documentation comments:
#  - Source of documentation is evenly split between Nutshell, existing
#    comments, and my own rephrasing.
#  - I'm not particularly confident that the comments are all exactly correct.
#  - The history, etc., up the top appears in the RDoc output.  Perhaps it would
#    be better to direct that not to appear, and put something else there
#    instead.
