Usage:
1) Use cmTaskMgrInstall() to register a worker function
(cmTaskMgrFunc_t) with the task manager.
2) Use cmTaskMgrCall() to queue a new instance of a
task to run.
3) An internal scheduling program will start the task
when there are less than 'maxActiveTaskCnt' running.
This will occur when active tasks complete or are
paused.
When 'maxActiveTaskCnt' tasks are active and
a previously paused task is unpaused the unpaused
task will take precedence over tasks started after
it and one of these new tasks will be deactivated.
As tasks are pause/unpaused and activated/deactivated
the number of active tasks may briefly exceed
'maxActiveTaskCnt'.
4) Once a task is instantiated the task manager
will keep the client notified of the task status
via callbacks to the cmTaskMgrStatusCb_t function.
Status:
kQueuedTmId - The task instance is waiting to be
exectued in the task queue.
kStartedTmId - The task has been made active and
is running.
kPausedTmId - The client sent a kPauseTmId to the
task via cmTaskMgrCtl() and the task
has been paused. The only way to
restart the task is to send kStartTmId
command.
kDeactivatedTmId - The task was previously started but has
now been deactivated by the system
in an effort to keep the number of
activate tasks at 'maxActiveTaskCnt'.
kKilledTmId - The task was killed either by the client
(via a cmTaskMgrCtl(kKillTmId)) or
or by the system within cmTaskMgrClose()
or cmTaskMgrDestroy().
kCompletedTmId - The task has completed. Note that any
task that gets queued is guaranteed to
generate kCompletedTmId status callback.
5) Closing the task manager should follow a two step
process. First all active tasks should be ended and then
cmTaskMgrDestroy() should be called.
Ending all active tasks can be accomplished by sending
kill signals via cmTaskMgrCtl(), use of cmTaskMgrClose()
or if all tasks are guaranteed to eventually end - waiting
for the task count to go to zero (See cmTaskMgrActiveTaskCount()).
Note that waiting for the task count to go to zero may be
error prone unless one can guarantee that no tasks are
queued or that the last task started has completed.
