// Barrier
//
// This class creates a barrier which blocks threads until a prespecified
// threshold of threads (`num_threads`) utilizes the barrier. A thread utilizes
// the `Barrier` by calling `Block()` on the barrier, which will block that
// thread; no call to `Block()` will return until `num_threads` threads have
// called it.
//
// Exactly one call to `Block()` will return `true`, which is then responsible
// for destroying the barrier; because stack allocation will cause the barrier
// to be deleted when it is out of scope, barriers should not be stack
// allocated.
//
// Example:
//
//   // Main thread creates a `Barrier`:
//   barrier = new Barrier(num_threads);
//
//   // Each participating thread could then call:
//   if (barrier->Block()) delete barrier;  // Exactly one call to `Block()`
//                                          // returns `true`; that call
//                                          // deletes the barrier.

  // threshold of threads utilizing this barrier has been reached. `Block()`
  // returns `true` for precisely one caller, which may then destroy the
  // barrier.
  //
  // Memory ordering: For any threads X and Y, any action taken by X
  // before X calls `Block()` will be visible to Y after Y returns from
  // `Block()`.
