Detailed Description

The Scheduler class is responsible for firing timers and joining ended threads.

Threads in Mace should be started using the runNewThread or runNewThreadClass macros. They then call shutdownJoinThread() and joinThread(), allowing the Scheduler to properly join each of them.

The Scheduler remains one of the tricky pieces of code to get right. Finding new bugs in the (relatively short and simple) schedule has been common.

Static Public Member Functions
static void	haltScheduler ()
	tells the schedule thread to join all remaining threads and shutdown. Then this thread waits to join the scheduler thread.
static bool	simulated ()
	returns whether or not the scheduler is simulated
Static Public Attributes
static const uint64_t	CLOCK_RESOLUTION = 1000
	1ms, the assumed smallest sleep period
Friends
class	TimerHandler
void	_runNewThread (pthread_t *t, func f, void *arg, pthread_attr_t *attr, const char *fname, bool joinThread)
	Generally you should not use this directly. Exceptions are if you don't want joinThread or if you want to specify a different string.
void	_runNewThreadClass (pthread_t *t, RunThreadClass *c, classfunc f, void *arg, pthread_attr_t *attr, const char *fname, bool joinThread)
	Generally you should not use this directly. Exceptions are if you don't want joinThread or if you want to specify a different string.
