Detailed Description

The ThreadBarrier class is used to synchronize threads.

Each thread that calls wait() will block until threshold number of threads has called wait() This class is freely copyable. All copies reference the same underlying implementation.

Note that descriptions of what exceptions may be thrown assumes that the object is used correctly, i.e., method preconditions are satsified.
