Thread++ Test Example

This is a sample test program for threadplusplus. As described in Section 4 of the threadplusplus documentation, it consists of a task descriptor CTask derived from CBaseTask, a thread manager CThreadManager derived from CBaseThreadManager<CTask>, and a main() function in Main.cpp which does the following.

1. Create a thread manager and a timer, that is, an instance of CThreadManager and an instance of CTimer.
2. Add some task descriptors to the task manager. These are instances of CTask that describe a task that involves sleeping for a certain amount of time.
3. Start the timer.
4. Report current data and time, and the number of available threads to the console (for example, the first 2 lines of Fig. 1).
5. Spawn the threads and wait for them to terminate.
6. Use the timer to report current time, elapsed time, and CPU time to the console (for example, lines 3-5 of Fig. 1).
7. Have the thread manager process the results. A list of task identifiers and the thread identifier of the thread that processed them is reported to the console (for example, lines 6-21 of Fig. 1).
8. Clean up and exit.
