* barrier.h
*
* This header file describes the "barrier" synchronization
* construct. The type barrier_t describes the full state of the
* barrier including the POSIX 1003.1c synchronization objects
* necessary.
*
* A barrier causes threads to wait until a set of threads has
* all "reached" the barrier. The number of threads required is
* set when the barrier is initialized, and cannot be changed
* except by reinitializing.
