Nat Goodspeed d653cbdcc6 Finish proofreading pass.
Add a note to the condition_variable::wait_for(..., pred) overload.

fiber_specific_ptr::reset() has no default argument.

Remove mention of launch policy deferred, since no API accepts a launch
policy argument.

Copy construction or copy assignment of a shared_future leaves other.valid()
unchanged. It won't be 'true' unless it was 'true' before.

Mention that [shared_]future::get_exception_ptr() does not invalidate.

Note that 'blocks' and 'suspends' are used interchangeably.

Add some cross-references; add link to std::allocator_arg_t. Clarify the
cross-reference to the paragraph describing BOOST_FIBERS_NO_ATOMICS.

Reformat some overly-long source lines.

[heading Tutorial]
Each __fiber__ represents a micro-thread which will be launched and managed
cooperatively by a scheduler. Objects of type __fiber__ are move-only.
boost::fibers::fiber f1; // not-a-fiber
void f() {
boost::fibers::fiber f2( some_fn);
f1 = std::move( f2); // f2 moved to f1
}
[heading Launching]
A new fiber is launched by passing an object of a callable type that can be
invoked with no parameters.
If the object must not be copied or moved, then ['std::ref] can be used to
pass in a reference to the function object. In this case, the user must ensure
that the referenced object outlives the newly-created fiber.
struct callable {
void operator()();
};
boost::fibers::fiber copies_are_safe() {
callable x;
return boost::fibers::fiber( x);
} // x is destroyed, but the newly-created fiber has a copy, so this is OK
boost::fibers::fiber oops() {
callable x;
return boost::fibers::fiber( std::ref( x) );
} // x is destroyed, but the newly-created fiber still has a reference
// this leads to undefined behaviour
The spawned __fiber__ does not immediately start running. It is enqueued in
the list of ready-to-run fibers, and will run when the scheduler gets around
to it.
[#exceptions]
[heading Exceptions]
An exception escaping from the function or callable object passed to the __fiber__
constructor calls `std::terminate()`.
If you need to know which exception was thrown, use __future__ and
__packaged_task__.
[heading Detaching]
A __fiber__ can be detached by explicitly invoking the __detach__ member
function. After __detach__ is called on a fiber object, that object represents
__not_a_fiber__. The fiber object may then safely be destroyed.
boost::fibers::fiber( some_fn).detach();
__boost_fiber__ provides a number of ways to wait for a running fiber to
complete. You can coordinate even with a detached fiber using a [class_link
mutex], or [class_link condition_variable], or any of the other [link
synchronization synchronization objects] provided by the library.
If a detached fiber is still running when the thread's main fiber terminates,
that fiber will be [link interruption interrupted] and shut down.[footnote
This treatment of detached fibers depends on a detached fiber eventually
either terminating or reaching one of the specified __interruption_points__.
Note that since [ns_function_link this_fiber..yield] is ['not] an interruption
point, a detached fiber whose only interaction with the Fiber library is
`yield()` cannot cleanly be terminated.]
[heading Joining]
In order to wait for a fiber to finish, the __join__ member function of the
__fiber__ object can be used. __join__ will block until the __fiber__ object
has completed.
If the __fiber__ has already completed then __join__ returns immediately.
void some_fn() {
...
}
boost::fibers::fiber f( some_fn);
...
f.join();
If the fiber has already completed, then __join__ returns immediately and
the joined __fiber__ object becomes __not_a_fiber__.
[heading Destruction]
When a __fiber__ object representing a valid execution context (the fiber is
__joinable__) is destroyed, the program terminates. If you intend the fiber to
outlive the __fiber__ object that launched it, use the __detach__ method.
{
boost::fibers::fiber f( some_fn);
} // std::terminate() will be called
{
boost::fibers::fiber f(some_fn);
f.detach();
} // okay, program continues
[#interruption]
[heading Interruption]
A valid fiber can be interrupted by invoking its __interrupt__ member function.
The next time that fiber executes one of the specific __interruption_points__ with
interruption enabled, a __fiber_interrupted__ exception will be thrown.
If this exception is not caught, the fiber will be terminated, its stack unwound,
its stack objects properly destroyed.
With __disable_interruption__ a fiber can avoid being interrupted.
// interruption enabled at this point
{
boost::this_fiber::disable_interruption di1;
// interruption disabled
{
boost::this::fiber::disable_interruption di2;
// interruption still disabled
} // di2 destroyed; interruption state restored
// interruption still disabled
} // di destroyed; interruption state restored
// interruption enabled
At any point, the interruption state for the current thread can be queried by
calling __interruption_enabled__.
The following __interruption_points__ are defined and will throw
__fiber_interrupted__ if __interruption_requested__ and
__interruption_enabled__.

* __barrier_wait__
* __cond_wait__
* __cond_wait_for__

[#class_fiber_id]
[heading Fiber IDs]
Objects of class __fiber_id__ can be used to identify fibers. Each running
__fiber__ has a unique __fiber_id__ obtainable from the corresponding __fiber__
by calling the __get_id__ member function.
Objects of class __fiber_id__ can be copied, and used as keys in associative
containers: the full range of comparison operators is provided.
They can also be written to an output stream using the stream insertion
operator, though the output format is unspecified.
Each instance of __fiber_id__ either refers to some fiber, or __not_a_fiber__.
Instances that refer to __not_a_fiber__ compare equal to each other, but
not equal to any instances that refer to an actual fiber. The comparison
operators on __fiber_id__ yield a total order for every non-equal __fiber_id__.

The default for each thread, if not specified, is
`std::chrono::milliseconds(10)`. A longer `wait_interval()` causes an idle
thread to use less CPU. A shorter `wait_interval()` is more responsive to
fibers becoming ready. When a fiber becomes ready to resume, e.g. a mutex on
which it is blocked becomes available, control is not immediately passed to
that fiber; instead it is marked "ready to run." It won't actually resume
until the fiber manager wakes up to consult the scheduler. It could take as
long as `wait_interval()` before the fiber manager notices the fiber's
readiness. It is likely that the optimal setting for `wait_interval()` is
application-specific.]]

[section:winfibers Using WinFiber-API]
Because the TIB (thread information block) is not fully described in the MSDN,
it might be possible that not all required TIB-parts are swapped.
With compiler flag `BOOST_USE_WINFIBERS` `fiber` uses internally the
Windows Fiber API (see also [@http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/context/doc/html/context/econtext/winfibers.html Boost.Context WinFiber support]).
