// In order to get along with the threading restrictions of Carbon
//
//         "Carbon is not thread-safe for preemptive threads.  You really need
//          to use Carbon only from your main thread, and not from other
//          pthreads. ..."
//
// this file implements a special main() function for the Mac OS, as well as
// implementing a command queue so that other threads may make Carbon toolbox
// calls safely (i.e. by asking the Mac main thread to do so).
//
// The job of the main thread is to handle events.  The main thread also
// drives the sequence grabber (by calling SGIdle when appropriate) and the
// Sound Manager.
// The need to fiddle with these features is communicated via custom Carbon
// Events;  the Carbon Event Manager is MPThread-safe (but not pthread
// safe), so I have made sure that PWLIB uses MPThreads so they can talk
// directly to the main thread.  
//
// Oh yeah, and it calls the PProcess::Main() function, too.  Wouldn't want
// to forget about that.  That gets called on yet another MPThread, whose
// termination drives the shutdown of the main thread.  I hope.

// Some of the ideas here come from the OTMP library.  Some of them don't.
// Guess which set turns out to be more reliable...

// In detail:
// A thread wishing to have a Carbon action performed creates one of these
// structures on its stack and calls CarbonQueue; when CarbonQueue returns,
// the action has been performed.
//
// CarbonQueue initializes a semaphore in the carbonRequest object, places
// the object on an OTLIFO queue, and wakes up the main thread with
// a custom Carbon Event.  Then it sleeps on the semaphore.
//
// The main thread's handler checks the queue for Carbon commands needing
// to be made in the context of the process main thread.  When it has
// performed each call, it signals the semaphore and goes to the next
// request.  A few commands cannot be completed synchronously by the main
// thread; they pass responsibility for the semaphore to a callback function.
