 *
 *  The ACE_TP_Reactor (aka, Thread Pool Reactor) uses the
 *  Leader/Followers pattern to demultiplex events among a pool of
 *  threads.  When using a thread pool reactor, an application
 *  pre-spawns a fixed number of threads.  When these threads
 *  invoke the ACE_TP_Reactor's handle_events() method, one thread
 *  will become the leader and wait for an event.  The other
 *  follower threads will queue up waiting for their turn to become
 *  the leader.  When an event occurs, the leader will pick a
 *  follower to become the leader and go on to handle the event.
 *  The consequence of using ACE_TP_Reactor is the amortization of
 *  the costs used to create threads.  The context switching cost
 *  will also reduce.  Moreover, the total resources used by
 *  threads are bounded because there are a fixed number of threads.

/**
 * @class ACE_TP_Reactor
 *
 * @brief Specialization of ACE_Select_Reactor to support thread-pool
 * based event dispatching.
 *
 * One of the shortcomings of the ACE_Select_Reactor is that it
 * does not support a thread pool-based event dispatching model,
 * similar to the one in ACE_WFMO_Reactor.  In ACE_Select_Reactor, only
 * thread can call handle_events() at any given time. ACE_TP_Reactor
 * removes this short-coming.
 *
 * ACE_TP_Reactor is a specialization of ACE_Select_Reactor to support
 * thread pool-based event dispatching. This reactor takes advantage
 * of the fact that events reported by @c select() are persistent if not
 * acted upon immediately.  It works by remembering the event handler
 * which was just activated, suspending it for further I/O activities,
 * releasing the internal lock (so that another thread can start waiting
 * in the event loop) and then dispatching the event's handler outside the
 * scope of the reactor lock. After the event handler has been dispatched
 * the event handler is resumed for further I/O activity.
 *
 * This reactor implementation is best suited for situations when the
 * callbacks to event handlers can take arbitrarily long and/or a number
 * of threads are available to run the event loop. Note that I/O-processing
 * callback code in event handlers (e.g. handle_input()) does not have to
 * be modified or made thread-safe for this reactor.  This is because
 * before an I/O event is dispatched to an event handler, the handler is
 * suspended; it is resumed by the reactor after the upcall completes.
 * Therefore, multiple I/O events will not be made to one event handler
 * multiple threads simultaneously. This suspend/resume protection does not
 * apply to either timers scheduled with the reactor or to notifications
 * requested via the reactor. When using timers and/or notifications you
 * must provide proper protection for your class in the context of multiple
 * threads.
