/**
 * @class ACE_OS_Thread_Adapter
 *
 * @brief Converts a C++ function into a function that can be
 * called from a thread creation routine
 * (e.g., pthread_create() or _beginthreadex()) that expects an
 * extern "C" entry point.  This class also makes it possible to
 * transparently provide hooks to register a thread with an
 * ACE_Thread_Manager.
 *
 * This class is used in ACE_OS::thr_create().  In general, the
 * thread that creates an object of this class is different from
 * the thread that calls invoke() on this object.  Therefore,
 * the invoke() method is responsible for deleting itself.
