/* ********** basic thread control API ************ 

Many thread cases have an X amount of jobs, and only an Y amount of
threads are useful (typically amount of cpus)

This code can be used to start a maximum amount of 'thread slots', which
then can be filled in a loop with an idle timer. 

A sample loop can look like this (pseudo c);

	ListBase lb;
	int maxthreads= 2;
	int cont= 1;

	BLI_init_threads(&lb, do_something_func, maxthreads);

	while(cont) {
		if(BLI_available_threads(&lb) && !(escape loop event)) {
			// get new job (data pointer)
			// tag job 'processed 
			BLI_insert_thread(&lb, job);
		}
		else PIL_sleep_ms(50);
		
		// find if a job is ready, this the do_something_func() should write in job somewhere
		cont= 0;
		for(go over all jobs)
			if(job is ready) {
				if(job was not removed) {
					BLI_remove_thread(&lb, job);
				}
			}
			else cont= 1;
		}
		// conditions to exit loop 
		if(if escape loop event) {
			if(BLI_available_threadslots(&lb)==maxthreads)
				break;
		}
	}

	BLI_end_threads(&lb);
