35// Message queue allows passing message between threads.

37// This class is typically used for communicating between the main and worker
38// threads. The main thread calls Post() and the worker thread calls Receive().

40// For this class a message is an object of arbitrary type T. Notice that
41// typically there must be some special message indicating that the thread
42// should terminate as there is no other way to gracefully shutdown a thread
43// waiting on the message queue.
