// Helper for C++11 thread number identification that is similar to
// omp_get_thread_num() behaviour. This is necessary to support C++11
// threading with a sequential thread id. This is used to access preallocated
// resources in the parallelized code parts.  The sequence of tokens varies from
// 0 to num_threads - 1 that can be acquired to identify the thread in a thread
// pool.
//
// If CERES_NO_THREADS is defined, Acquire() always returns 0 and Release()
// takes no action.
//
// If CERES_USE_OPENMP, omp_get_thread_num() is used to Acquire() with no action
// in Release()
//
//
// Example usage pseudocode:
//
// ThreadTokenProvider ttp(N); // allocate N tokens
// Spawn N threads {
//    int token = ttp.Acquire(); // get unique token
//    ...
//    ... use token to access resources bound to the thread
//    ...
//    ttp.Release(token); // return token to the pool
//  }
//
class ThreadTokenProvider {
 public:
  ThreadTokenProvider(int num_threads);

  // Returns the first token from the queue. The acquired value must be
  // given back by Release().
  int Acquire();

  // Makes previously acquired token available for other threads.
