 * @brief Implements a user-space queue to send Reactor notifications.
 *
 * The ACE_Reactor uses a pipe to send wake up the thread running the
 * event loop from other threads.  This pipe can be limited in size
 * under some operating systems.  For some applications, this limit
 * presents a problem.  A user-space notification queue is used to
 * overcome those limitations.  The queue tries to use as few
 * resources on the pipe as possible, while keeping all the data in
 * user space.
 *
 * This code was refactored from Select_Reactor_Base.
