/****h* Component Library/Thread Pool
* NAME
*	Thread Pool
*
* DESCRIPTION
*	The Thread Pool manages a user specified number of threads.
*
*	Each thread in the thread pool waits for a user initiated signal before
*	invoking a user specified callback function. All threads in the thread
*	pool invoke the same callback function.
*
*	The thread pool functions operate on a cl_thread_pool_t structure which
*	should be treated as opaque, and should be manipulated only through the
*	provided functions.
*
* SEE ALSO
*	Structures:
*		cl_thread_pool_t
*
*	Initialization:
*		cl_thread_pool_init, cl_thread_pool_destroy
*
*	Manipulation
*		cl_thread_pool_signal

*		[in] Address of a function to be invoked by a thread.

*		[in] Name to associate with the threads.  The name may be up to 16

* RETURN VALUES

* RETURN VALUE
*	This function does not return a value.
*
* NOTES
*	This function blocks until all threads exit, and must therefore not
*	be called from any of the thread pool's threads. Because of its blocking
*	nature, callers of cl_thread_pool_destroy must ensure that entering a wait
*	state is valid from the calling thread context.
