/**
* A synchronization aid that allows a set of threads to all wait for each other
* to reach a common barrier point. Barriers are useful in programs involving a
* fixed sized party of threads that must occasionally wait for each other.
* ThreadBarrier adds a cause to
* {@link BrokenBarrierException} thrown by a {@link #reset()} operation defined
* by {@link CyclicBarrier}.
*
*
* Sample usage:
* Barrier as a synchronization and Exception handling aid
* Barrier as a trigger for elapsed notification events
*
*
* class MyTestClass implements RemoteEventListener
* {
* final ThreadBarrier barrier;
*
* class Worker implements Runnable
* {
* public void run()
* {
* barrier.await(); //wait for all threads to reach run
* try
* {
* prepare();
* barrier.await(); //wait for all threads to prepare
* process();
* barrier.await(); //wait for all threads to process
* }
* catch(Throwable t){
* log("Worker thread caught exception", t);
* barrier.reset(t);
* }
* }
* }
*
* public void testThreads() {
* barrier = new ThreadBarrier(N_THREADS + 1);
* for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i)
* new Thread(new Worker()).start();
*
* try{
* barrier.await(); //wait for all threads to reach run
* barrier.await(); //wait for all threads to prepare
* barrier.await(); //wait for all threads to process
* }
* catch(BrokenBarrierException bbe) {
* Assert.fail(bbe);
* }
* }
*
* int actualNotificationCount = 0;
* public synchronized void notify (RemoteEvent event) {
* try{
* actualNotificationCount++;
* if (actualNotificationCount == EXPECTED_COUNT)
* barrier.await(); //signal when all notifications arrive
*
* // too many notifications?
* Assert.assertFalse("Exceeded notification count",
* actualNotificationCount > EXPECTED_COUNT);
* }
* catch(Throwable t) {
* log("Worker thread caught exception", t);
* barrier.reset(t);
* }
* }
*
* public void testNotify() {
* barrier = new ThreadBarrier(N_LISTENERS + 1);
* registerNotification();
* triggerNotifications();
*
* //wait until either all notifications arrive, or
* //until a MAX_TIMEOUT is reached.
* barrier.await(MAX_TIMEOUT);
*
* //check if all notifications were accounted for or timed-out
* Assert.assertEquals("Notification count",
* EXPECTED_COUNT, actualNotificationCount);
*
* //inspect that the barrier isn't broken
* barrier.inspect(); //throws BrokenBarrierException if broken
* }
* }
*
