// determined before hand, you can either redefine the memory pool
// size macros to suit your need or constructed the Thread_Manager
// accordingly.  That way, you don't pay the price of memory
// allocation when the system is really doing its job.  OTOH, on
// system with resources constraint, you may want to lower the size of
// ACE_DEFAULT_THREAD_MANAGER_HWM to avoid unused memory hanging

  // = TITLE
  //    Manages a pool of threads.
  //
  // = DESCRIPTION
  //    This class allows operations on groups of threads atomically.
  //    The default behavior of thread manager is to wait on
  //    all threads under it's management when it gets destructed.
  //    Therefore, remember to remove a thread from thread manager if
  //    you don't want it to wait for the thread. There are also
  //    function to disable this default wait-on-exit behavior.
  //    However, if your program depends on turning this off to run
  //    correctly, you are probably doing something wrong.  Rule of
  //    thumb, use ACE_Thread to manage your daemon threads.
  //
  //    Notice that if there're threads live beyond the scope of main (),
  //    you are sure to have resource leaks in your program.  Remember
  //    to wait on threads before exiting main() if that could happen
  //    in your programs.
