    // GC Scanning Support
    ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


    // NOTE: The GC scanning process works like so:
    //
    //          1. Suspend all threads.
    //          2. Scan the stacks of all suspended threads for roots.
    //          3. Resume all threads.
    //
    //       Step 1 and 3 require a list of all threads in the system, while
    //       step 2 requires a list of all thread stacks (each represented by
    //       a Context struct).  Traditionally, there was one stack per thread
    //       and the Context structs were not necessary.  However, Fibers have
    //       changed things so that each thread has its own 'main' stack plus
    //       an arbitrary number of nested stacks (normally referenced via
    //       m_curr).  Also, there may be 'free-floating' stacks in the system,
    //       which are Fibers that are not currently executing on any specific
    //       thread but are still being processed and still contain valid
    //       roots.
    //
    //       To support all of this, the Context struct has been created to
    //       represent a stack range, and a global list of Context structs has
    //       been added to enable scanning of these stack ranges.  The lifetime
    //       (and presence in the Context list) of a thread's 'main' stack will
    //       be equivalent to the thread's lifetime.  So the Ccontext will be
    //       added to the list on thread entry, and removed from the list on
    //       thread exit (which is essentially the same as the presence of a
    //       Thread object in its own global list).  The lifetime of a Fiber's
    //       context, however, will be tied to the lifetime of the Fiber object
    //       itself, and Fibers are expected to add/remove their Context struct
    //       on construction/deletion.

/**
 * This class provides a cooperative concurrency mechanism integrated with the
 * threading and garbage collection functionality.  Calling a fiber may be
 * considered a blocking operation that returns when the fiber yields (via
 * Fiber.yield()).  Execution occurs within the context of the calling thread
 * so synchronization is not necessary to guarantee memory visibility so long
 * as the same thread calls the fiber each time.  Please note that there is no
 * requirement that a fiber be bound to one specific thread.  Rather, fibers
 * may be freely passed between threads so long as they are not currently
 * executing.  Like threads, a new fiber thread may be created using either
 * derivation or composition, as in the following example.
 *
 * Example:
 * ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 *
 * class DerivedFiber : Fiber
 * {
 *     this()
 *     {
 *         super( &run );
 *     }
 *
 * private :
 *     void run()
 *     {
 *         printf( "Derived fiber running.\n" );
 *     }
 * }
 *
 * void fiberFunc()
 * {
 *     printf( "Composed fiber running.\n" );
 *     Fiber.yield();
 *     printf( "Composed fiber running.\n" );
 * }
 *
 * // create instances of each type
 * Fiber derived = new DerivedFiber();
 * Fiber composed = new Fiber( &fiberFunc );
 *
 * // call both fibers once
 * derived.call();
 * composed.call();
 * printf( "Execution returned to calling context.\n" );
 * composed.call();
 *
 * // since each fiber has run to completion, each should have state TERM
 * assert( derived.state == Fiber.State.TERM );
 * assert( composed.state == Fiber.State.TERM );
 *
