  // = TITLE
  //    These flags are used within the ACE_Task.
  // 
  // = DESCRIPTION
  //    These flags should be hidden within ACE_Task.  Unfortunately, the
  //    HP/UX C++ compiler can't grok this...  Fortunately, there's no
  //    code defined here, so we don't have to worry about multiple

  //
  // = DESCRIPTION
  //    This class factors out the non-template code in order to
  //    reduce template bloat, as well as to make it possible for the
  //    <ACE_Thread_Manager> to store <ACE_Task_Base> *'s
  //    polymorphically.

  // = Initialization method.

  // = Initialization and termination hooks (note that these *must* be defined by subclasses).
  virtual int open (void *args = 0);
  // Hook called to open a Task.  <args> can be used to pass arbitrary
  // information into <open>.

  virtual int close (u_long flags = 0);
  // Hook called from <ACE_Task_Exit> when during thread exit and from
  // the default implemenation of <module_closed>.  In general, this
  // method shouldn't be called directly by an application,
  // particularly if the <Task> is running as an Active Object.
  // Instead, a special message should be passed into the <Task> via
  // the <put> method defined below, and the <svc> method should
  // interpret this as a flag to shut down the <Task>.

  virtual int module_closed (void);
  // Hook called during ACE_Module::close().  The default
  // implementation calls forwards the call to close(1).  Please
  // notice the changed value of the default argument of close().
  // This allows tasks to differ between the call has been originated
  // from <ACE_Task_Exit> or from <module_closed>.  Be aware that
  // close(0) will be also called when a thread associated with the
  // ACE_Task instance exits.

  // = Immediate and deferred processing methods, respectively.
  virtual int put (ACE_Message_Block *, ACE_Time_Value * = 0);

  // Turn the task into an active object, i.e., having <n_threads> of
  // control, all running at the <priority> level (see below) with the same
  // <grp_id>, all of which invoke <Task::svc>.  Returns -1 if failure
  // occurs, returns 1 if Task is already an active object and
  // <force_active> is false (doesn't *not* create a new thread in
  // this case), and returns 0 if Task was not already an active
  // object and a thread is created successfully or thread is an
  // active object and <force_active> is true.
  // 
  // The <{flags}> are a bitwise-OR of the following:

  // By default, or if <{priority}> is set to ACE_DEFAULT_THREAD_PRIORITY,
  // an "appropriate"
  // priority value for the given scheduling policy (specified in
  // <{flags}>, e.g., <THR_SCHED_DEFAULT>) is used.  This value is
  // calculated dynamically, and is the median value between the
  // minimum and maximum priority values for the given policy.  If an
  // explicit value is given, it is used.  Note that actual priority
  // values are EXTREMEMLY implementation-dependent, and are probably
  // best avoided.
  //
  // If <thread_handles> != 0 it is assumed to be an array of <n>
  // thread_handles that will be assigned the values of the thread
  // handles being spawned.  Returns -1 on failure (<errno> will
  // explain...), otherwise returns the group id of the threads.

  virtual int wait (void);

  // = Suspend/resume a Task

  // Count of the number of threads running within the task.  If this
