//! Native threads.
//!
//! ## The threading model
//!
//! An executing Rust program consists of a collection of native OS threads,
//! each with their own stack and local state. Threads can be named, and
//! provide some built-in support for low-level synchronization.
//!
//! Communication between threads can be done through
//! [channels], Rust's message-passing types, along with [other forms of thread
//! synchronization](../../std/sync/index.html) and shared-memory data
//! structures. In particular, types that are guaranteed to be
//! threadsafe are easily shared between threads using the
//! atomically-reference-counted container, [`Arc`].
//!
//! Fatal logic errors in Rust cause *thread panic*, during which
//! a thread will unwind the stack, running destructors and freeing
//! owned resources. While not meant as a 'try/catch' mechanism, panics
//! in Rust can nonetheless be caught (unless compiling with `panic=abort`) with
//! [`catch_unwind`](../../std/panic/fn.catch_unwind.html) and recovered
//! from, or alternatively be resumed with
//! [`resume_unwind`](../../std/panic/fn.resume_unwind.html). If the panic
//! is not caught the thread will exit, but the panic may optionally be
//! detected from a different thread with [`join`]. If the main thread panics
//! without the panic being caught, the application will exit with a
//! non-zero exit code.
//!
//! When the main thread of a Rust program terminates, the entire program shuts
//! down, even if other threads are still running. However, this module provides
//! convenient facilities for automatically waiting for the termination of a
//! child thread (i.e., join).
//!
//! ## Spawning a thread
//!
//! A new thread can be spawned using the [`thread::spawn`][`spawn`] function:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use std::thread;
//!
//! thread::spawn(move || {
//! // some work here
//! });
//! ```
//!
//! In this example, the spawned thread is "detached" from the current
//! thread. This means that it can outlive its parent (the thread that spawned
//! it), unless this parent is the main thread.
//!
//! The parent thread can also wait on the completion of the child
//! thread; a call to [`spawn`] produces a [`JoinHandle`], which provides
//! a `join` method for waiting:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use std::thread;
//!
//! let child = thread::spawn(move || {
//! // some work here
//! });
//! // some work here
//! let res = child.join();
//! ```
//!
//! The [`join`] method returns a [`thread::Result`] containing [`Ok`] of the final
//! value produced by the child thread, or [`Err`] of the value given to
//! a call to [`panic!`] if the child panicked.
//!
//! ## Configuring threads
//!
//! A new thread can be configured before it is spawned via the [`Builder`] type,
//! which currently allows you to set the name and stack size for the child thread:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # #![allow(unused_must_use)]
//! use std::thread;
//!
//! thread::Builder::new().name("child1".to_string()).spawn(move || {
//! println!("Hello, world!");
//! });
//! ```
//!
//! ## The `Thread` type
//!
//! Threads are represented via the [`Thread`] type, which you can get in one of
//! two ways:
//!
//! * By spawning a new thread, e.g., using the [`thread::spawn`][`spawn`]
//! function, and calling [`thread`][`JoinHandle::thread`] on the [`JoinHandle`].
//! * By requesting the current thread, using the [`thread::current`] function.
//!
//! The [`thread::current`] function is available even for threads not spawned
//! by the APIs of this module.
//!
//! ## Thread-local storage
//!
//! This module also provides an implementation of thread-local storage for Rust
//! programs. Thread-local storage is a method of storing data into a global
//! variable that each thread in the program will have its own copy of.
//! Threads do not share this data, so accesses do not need to be synchronized.
//!
//! A thread-local key owns the value it contains and will destroy the value when the
//! thread exits. It is created with the [`thread_local!`] macro and can contain any
//! value that is `'static` (no borrowed pointers). It provides an accessor function,
//! [`with`], that yields a shared reference to the value to the specified
//! closure. Thread-local keys allow only shared access to values, as there would be no
//! way to guarantee uniqueness if mutable borrows were allowed. Most values
//! will want to make use of some form of **interior mutability** through the
//! [`Cell`] or [`RefCell`] types.
//!
//! ## Naming threads
//!
//! Threads are able to have associated names for identification purposes. By default, spawned
//! threads are unnamed. To specify a name for a thread, build the thread with [`Builder`] and pass
//! the desired thread name to [`Builder::name`]. To retrieve the thread name from within the
//! thread, use [`Thread::name`]. A couple examples of where the name of a thread gets used:
//!
//! * If a panic occurs in a named thread, the thread name will be printed in the panic message.
//! * The thread name is provided to the OS where applicable (e.g., `pthread_setname_np` in
//! unix-like platforms).
//!
//! ## Stack size
//!
//! The default stack size for spawned threads is 2 MiB, though this particular stack size is
//! subject to change in the future. There are two ways to manually specify the stack size for
//! spawned threads:
//!
//! * Build the thread with [`Builder`] and pass the desired stack size to [`Builder::stack_size`].
//! * Set the `RUST_MIN_STACK` environment variable to an integer representing the desired stack
//! size (in bytes). Note that setting [`Builder::stack_size`] will override this.
//!
//! Note that the stack size of the main thread is *not* determined by Rust.

///
/// The join handle will implicitly *detach* the child thread upon being

/// the parent thread is the main thread; the whole process is terminated when
/// the main thread finishes). Additionally, the join handle provides a [`join`]

/// [`panic!`].
///
/// This will create a thread using default parameters of [`Builder`], if you
/// want to specify the stack size or the name of the thread, use this API
/// instead.
///
/// As you can see in the signature of `spawn` there are two constraints on
/// both the closure given to `spawn` and its return value, let's explain them:
///
/// - The `'static` constraint means that the closure and its return value
/// must have a lifetime of the whole program execution. The reason for this
/// is that threads can `detach` and outlive the lifetime they have been
/// created in.
/// Indeed if the thread, and by extension its return value, can outlive their
/// caller, we need to make sure that they will be valid afterwards, and since
/// we *can't* know when it will return we need to have them valid as long as
/// possible, that is until the end of the program, hence the `'static`
/// lifetime.
/// - The [`Send`] constraint is because the closure will need to be passed
/// *by value* from the thread where it is spawned to the new thread. Its
/// return value will need to be passed from the new thread to the thread
/// where it is `join`ed.
/// As a reminder, the [`Send`] marker trait expresses that it is safe to be
/// passed from thread to thread. [`Sync`] expresses that it is safe to have a
/// reference be passed from thread to thread.
///
/// # Panics
///
/// Panics if the OS fails to create a thread; use [`Builder::spawn`]
/// to recover from such errors.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Creating a thread.
///
/// ```
/// use std::thread;
///
/// let handler = thread::spawn(|| {
/// // thread code

///

///
/// As mentioned in the module documentation, threads are usually made to

/// [`thread::park`][`park`] function and [`thread::Thread::unpark`][`unpark`]
/// method. [`park`] blocks the current thread, which can then be resumed from
/// another thread by calling the [`unpark`] method on the blocked thread's
/// handle.
///
/// Conceptually, each [`Thread`] handle has an associated token, which is
/// initially not present:
///
/// * The [`thread::park`][`park`] function blocks the current thread unless or
/// until the token is available for its thread handle, at which point it
/// atomically consumes the token. It may also return *spuriously*, without
/// consuming the token. [`thread::park_timeout`] does the same, but allows
/// specifying a maximum time to block the thread for.
///
/// * The [`unpark`] method on a [`Thread`] atomically makes the token available
/// if it wasn't already. Because the token is initially absent, [`unpark`]
/// followed by [`park`] will result in the second call returning immediately.
///
/// In other words, each [`Thread`] acts a bit like a spinlock that can be
/// locked and unlocked using `park` and `unpark`.
///
/// Notice that being unblocked does not imply any synchronization with someone
/// that unparked this thread, it could also be spurious.
/// For example, it would be a valid, but inefficient, implementation to make both [`park`] and
/// [`unpark`] return immediately without doing anything.
///
/// The API is typically used by acquiring a handle to the current thread,
/// placing that handle in a shared data structure so that other threads can
/// find it, and then `park`ing in a loop. When some desired condition is met, another
/// thread calls [`unpark`] on the handle.
///
/// The motivation for this design is twofold:
///
/// * It avoids the need to allocate mutexes and condvars when building new
/// synchronization primitives; the threads already provide basic
/// blocking/signaling.
///
/// * It can be implemented very efficiently on many platforms.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use std::thread;
/// use std::sync::{Arc, atomic::{Ordering, AtomicBool}};
/// use std::time::Duration;
///
/// let flag = Arc::new(AtomicBool::new(false));
/// let flag2 = Arc::clone(&flag);
///
/// let parked_thread = thread::spawn(move || {
/// // We want to wait until the flag is set. We *could* just spin, but using
/// // park/unpark is more efficient.
/// while !flag2.load(Ordering::Acquire) {
/// println!("Parking thread");
/// thread::park();
/// // We *could* get here spuriously, i.e., way before the 10ms below are over!
/// // But that is no problem, we are in a loop until the flag is set anyway.
/// println!("Thread unparked");
/// }
/// println!("Flag received");
/// });
///
/// // Let some time pass for the thread to be spawned.
/// thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(10));
///
/// // Set the flag, and let the thread wake up.
/// // There is no race condition here, if `unpark`
/// // happens first, `park` will return immediately.
/// // Hence there is no risk of a deadlock.
/// flag.store(true, Ordering::Release);
