+/**
+ * A {@link ForkJoinTask} with a completion action performed when
+ * triggered and there are no remaining pending actions.
+ * CountedCompleters are in general more robust in the
+ * presence of subtask stalls and blockage than are other forms of
+ * ForkJoinTasks, but are less intuitive to program.  Uses of
+ * CountedCompleter are similar to those of other completion based
+ * components (such as {@link java.nio.channels.CompletionHandler})
+ * except that multiple <em>pending</em> completions may be necessary
+ * to trigger the completion action {@link #onCompletion(CountedCompleter)},
+ * not just one.
+ * Unless initialized otherwise, the {@linkplain #getPendingCount pending
+ * count} starts at zero, but may be (atomically) changed using
+ * methods {@link #setPendingCount}, {@link #addToPendingCount}, and
+ * {@link #compareAndSetPendingCount}. Upon invocation of {@link
+ * #tryComplete}, if the pending action count is nonzero, it is
+ * decremented; otherwise, the completion action is performed, and if
+ * this completer itself has a completer, the process is continued
+ * with its completer.  As is the case with related synchronization
+ * components such as {@link Phaser} and {@link Semaphore}, these methods
+ * affect only internal counts; they do not establish any further
+ * internal bookkeeping. In particular, the identities of pending
+ * tasks are not maintained. As illustrated below, you can create
+ * subclasses that do record some or all pending tasks or their
+ * results when needed.  As illustrated below, utility methods
+ * supporting customization of completion traversals are also
+ * provided. However, because CountedCompleters provide only basic
+ * synchronization mechanisms, it may be useful to create further
+ * abstract subclasses that maintain linkages, fields, and additional
+ * support methods appropriate for a set of related usages.
+ *
+ * <p>A concrete CountedCompleter class must define method {@link
+ * #compute}, that should in most cases (as illustrated below), invoke
+ * {@code tryComplete()} once before returning. The class may also
+ * optionally override method {@link #onCompletion(CountedCompleter)}
+ * to perform an action upon normal completion, and method
+ * {@link #onExceptionalCompletion(Throwable, CountedCompleter)} to
+ * perform an action upon any exception.
+ *
+ * <p>CountedCompleters most often do not bear results, in which case
+ * they are normally declared as {@code CountedCompleter<Void>}, and
+ * will always return {@code null} as a result value.  In other cases,
+ * you should override method {@link #getRawResult} to provide a
+ * result from {@code join(), invoke()}, and related methods.  In
+ * general, this method should return the value of a field (or a
+ * function of one or more fields) of the CountedCompleter object that
+ * holds the result upon completion. Method {@link #setRawResult} by
+ * default plays no role in CountedCompleters.  It is possible, but
+ * rarely applicable, to override this method to maintain other
+ * objects or fields holding result data.
+ *
+ * <p>A CountedCompleter that does not itself have a completer (i.e.,
+ * one for which {@link #getCompleter} returns {@code null}) can be
+ * used as a regular ForkJoinTask with this added functionality.
+ * However, any completer that in turn has another completer serves
+ * only as an internal helper for other computations, so its own task
+ * status (as reported in methods such as {@link ForkJoinTask#isDone})
+ * is arbitrary; this status changes only upon explicit invocations of
+ * {@link #complete}, {@link ForkJoinTask#cancel},
+ * {@link ForkJoinTask#completeExceptionally(Throwable)} or upon
+ * exceptional completion of method {@code compute}. Upon any
+ * exceptional completion, the exception may be relayed to a task's
+ * completer (and its completer, and so on), if one exists and it has
+ * not otherwise already completed. Similarly, cancelling an internal
+ * CountedCompleter has only a local effect on that completer, so is
+ * not often useful.
+ *
+ * <p><b>Sample Usages.</b>
+ *
+ * <p><b>Parallel recursive decomposition.</b> CountedCompleters may
+ * be arranged in trees similar to those often used with {@link
+ * RecursiveAction}s, although the constructions involved in setting
+ * them up typically vary. Here, the completer of each task is its
+ * parent in the computation tree. Even though they entail a bit more
+ * bookkeeping, CountedCompleters may be better choices when applying
+ * a possibly time-consuming operation (that cannot be further
+ * subdivided) to each element of an array or collection; especially
+ * when the operation takes a significantly different amount of time
+ * to complete for some elements than others, either because of
+ * intrinsic variation (for example I/O) or auxiliary effects such as
+ * garbage collection.  Because CountedCompleters provide their own
+ * continuations, other tasks need not block waiting to perform them.
+ *
+ * <p>For example, here is an initial version of a utility method that
+ * uses divide-by-two recursive decomposition to divide work into
+ * single pieces (leaf tasks). Even when work is split into individual
+ * calls, tree-based techniques are usually preferable to directly
+ * forking leaf tasks, because they reduce inter-thread communication
+ * and improve load balancing. In the recursive case, the second of
+ * each pair of subtasks to finish triggers completion of their parent
+ * (because no result combination is performed, the default no-op
+ * implementation of method {@code onCompletion} is not overridden).
+ * The utility method sets up the root task and invokes it (here,
+ * implicitly using the {@link ForkJoinPool#commonPool()}).  It is
+ * straightforward and reliable (but not optimal) to always set the
+ * pending count to the number of child tasks and call {@code
+ * tryComplete()} immediately before returning.
+ *
+ * <pre> {@code
+ * public static <E> void forEach(E[] array, Consumer<E> action) {
+ *   class Task extends CountedCompleter<Void> {
+ *     final int lo, hi;
+ *     Task(Task parent, int lo, int hi) {
+ *       super(parent); this.lo = lo; this.hi = hi;
+ *     }
+ *
+ *     public void compute() {
+ *       if (hi - lo >= 2) {
+ *         int mid = (lo + hi) >>> 1;
+ *         // must set pending count before fork
+ *         setPendingCount(2);
+ *         new Task(this, mid, hi).fork(); // right child
+ *         new Task(this, lo, mid).fork(); // left child
+ *       }
+ *       else if (hi > lo)
+ *         action.accept(array[lo]);
+ *       tryComplete();
+ *     }
+ *   }
+ *   new Task(null, 0, array.length).invoke();
+ * }}</pre>
+ *
+ * This design can be improved by noticing that in the recursive case,
+ * the task has nothing to do after forking its right task, so can
+ * directly invoke its left task before returning. (This is an analog
+ * of tail recursion removal.)  Also, when the last action in a task
+ * is to fork or invoke a subtask (a "tail call"), the call to {@code
+ * tryComplete()} can be optimized away, at the cost of making the
+ * pending count look "off by one".
+ *
+ * <pre> {@code
+ *     public void compute() {
+ *       if (hi - lo >= 2) {
+ *         int mid = (lo + hi) >>> 1;
+ *         setPendingCount(1); // looks off by one, but correct!
+ *         new Task(this, mid, hi).fork(); // right child
+ *         new Task(this, lo, mid).compute(); // direct invoke
+ *       } else {
+ *         if (hi > lo)
+ *           action.accept(array[lo]);
+ *         tryComplete();
+ *       }
+ *     }}</pre>
+ *
+ * As a further optimization, notice that the left task need not even exist.
+ * Instead of creating a new one, we can continue using the original task,
+ * and add a pending count for each fork.  Additionally, because no task
+ * in this tree implements an {@link #onCompletion(CountedCompleter)} method,
+ * {@code tryComplete} can be replaced with {@link #propagateCompletion}.
+ *
+ * <pre> {@code
+ *     public void compute() {
+ *       int n = hi - lo;
+ *       for (; n >= 2; n /= 2) {
+ *         addToPendingCount(1);
+ *         new Task(this, lo + n/2, lo + n).fork();
+ *       }
+ *       if (n > 0)
+ *         action.accept(array[lo]);
+ *       propagateCompletion();
+ *     }}</pre>
+ *
+ * When pending counts can be precomputed, they can be established in
+ * the constructor:
+ *
+ * <pre> {@code
+ * public static <E> void forEach(E[] array, Consumer<E> action) {
+ *   class Task extends CountedCompleter<Void> {
+ *     final int lo, hi;
+ *     Task(Task parent, int lo, int hi) {
+ *       super(parent, 31 - Integer.numberOfLeadingZeros(hi - lo));
+ *       this.lo = lo; this.hi = hi;
+ *     }
+ *
+ *     public void compute() {
+ *       for (int n = hi - lo; n >= 2; n /= 2)
+ *         new Task(this, lo + n/2, lo + n).fork();
+ *       action.accept(array[lo]);
+ *       propagateCompletion();
+ *     }
+ *   }
+ *   if (array.length > 0)
+ *     new Task(null, 0, array.length).invoke();
+ * }}</pre>
+ *
+ * Additional optimizations of such classes might entail specializing
+ * classes for leaf steps, subdividing by say, four, instead of two
+ * per iteration, and using an adaptive threshold instead of always
+ * subdividing down to single elements.
+ *
+ * <p><b>Searching.</b> A tree of CountedCompleters can search for a
+ * value or property in different parts of a data structure, and
+ * report a result in an {@link
+ * java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReference AtomicReference} as
+ * soon as one is found. The others can poll the result to avoid
+ * unnecessary work. (You could additionally {@linkplain #cancel
+ * cancel} other tasks, but it is usually simpler and more efficient
+ * to just let them notice that the result is set and if so skip
+ * further processing.)  Illustrating again with an array using full
+ * partitioning (again, in practice, leaf tasks will almost always
+ * process more than one element):
+ *
+ * <pre> {@code
+ * class Searcher<E> extends CountedCompleter<E> {
+ *   final E[] array; final AtomicReference<E> result; final int lo, hi;
+ *   Searcher(CountedCompleter<?> p, E[] array, AtomicReference<E> result, int lo, int hi) {
+ *     super(p);
+ *     this.array = array; this.result = result; this.lo = lo; this.hi = hi;
+ *   }
+ *   public E getRawResult() { return result.get(); }
+ *   public void compute() { // similar to ForEach version 3
+ *     int l = lo, h = hi;
+ *     while (result.get() == null && h >= l) {
+ *       if (h - l >= 2) {
+ *         int mid = (l + h) >>> 1;
+ *         addToPendingCount(1);
+ *         new Searcher(this, array, result, mid, h).fork();
+ *         h = mid;
+ *       }
+ *       else {
+ *         E x = array[l];
+ *         if (matches(x) && result.compareAndSet(null, x))
+ *           quietlyCompleteRoot(); // root task is now joinable
+ *         break;
+ *       }
+ *     }
+ *     tryComplete(); // normally complete whether or not found
+ *   }
+ *   boolean matches(E e) { ... } // return true if found
+ *
+ *   public static <E> E search(E[] array) {
+ *       return new Searcher<E>(null, array, new AtomicReference<E>(), 0, array.length).invoke();
+ *   }
+ * }}</pre>
+ *
+ * In this example, as well as others in which tasks have no other
+ * effects except to {@code compareAndSet} a common result, the
+ * trailing unconditional invocation of {@code tryComplete} could be
+ * made conditional ({@code if (result.get() == null) tryComplete();})
+ * because no further bookkeeping is required to manage completions
+ * once the root task completes.
+ *
+ * <p><b>Recording subtasks.</b> CountedCompleter tasks that combine
+ * results of multiple subtasks usually need to access these results
+ * in method {@link #onCompletion(CountedCompleter)}. As illustrated in the following
+ * class (that performs a simplified form of map-reduce where mappings
+ * and reductions are all of type {@code E}), one way to do this in
+ * divide and conquer designs is to have each subtask record its
+ * sibling, so that it can be accessed in method {@code onCompletion}.
+ * This technique applies to reductions in which the order of
+ * combining left and right results does not matter; ordered
+ * reductions require explicit left/right designations.  Variants of
+ * other streamlinings seen in the above examples may also apply.
+ *
+ * <pre> {@code
+ * class MyMapper<E> { E apply(E v) {  ...  } }
+ * class MyReducer<E> { E apply(E x, E y) {  ...  } }
+ * class MapReducer<E> extends CountedCompleter<E> {
+ *   final E[] array; final MyMapper<E> mapper;
+ *   final MyReducer<E> reducer; final int lo, hi;
+ *   MapReducer<E> sibling;
+ *   E result;
+ *   MapReducer(CountedCompleter<?> p, E[] array, MyMapper<E> mapper,
+ *              MyReducer<E> reducer, int lo, int hi) {
+ *     super(p);
+ *     this.array = array; this.mapper = mapper;
+ *     this.reducer = reducer; this.lo = lo; this.hi = hi;
+ *   }
+ *   public void compute() {
+ *     if (hi - lo >= 2) {
+ *       int mid = (lo + hi) >>> 1;
+ *       MapReducer<E> left = new MapReducer(this, array, mapper, reducer, lo, mid);
+ *       MapReducer<E> right = new MapReducer(this, array, mapper, reducer, mid, hi);
+ *       left.sibling = right;
+ *       right.sibling = left;
+ *       setPendingCount(1); // only right is pending
+ *       right.fork();
+ *       left.compute();     // directly execute left
+ *     }
+ *     else {
+ *       if (hi > lo)
+ *           result = mapper.apply(array[lo]);
+ *       tryComplete();
+ *     }
+ *   }
+ *   public void onCompletion(CountedCompleter<?> caller) {
+ *     if (caller != this) {
+ *       MapReducer<E> child = (MapReducer<E>)caller;
+ *       MapReducer<E> sib = child.sibling;
+ *       if (sib == null || sib.result == null)
+ *         result = child.result;
+ *       else
+ *         result = reducer.apply(child.result, sib.result);
+ *     }
+ *   }
+ *   public E getRawResult() { return result; }
+ *
+ *   public static <E> E mapReduce(E[] array, MyMapper<E> mapper, MyReducer<E> reducer) {
+ *     return new MapReducer<E>(null, array, mapper, reducer,
+ *                              0, array.length).invoke();
+ *   }
+ * }}</pre>
+ *
+ * Here, method {@code onCompletion} takes a form common to many
+ * completion designs that combine results. This callback-style method
+ * is triggered once per task, in either of the two different contexts
+ * in which the pending count is, or becomes, zero: (1) by a task
+ * itself, if its pending count is zero upon invocation of {@code
+ * tryComplete}, or (2) by any of its subtasks when they complete and
+ * decrement the pending count to zero. The {@code caller} argument
+ * distinguishes cases.  Most often, when the caller is {@code this},
+ * no action is necessary. Otherwise the caller argument can be used
+ * (usually via a cast) to supply a value (and/or links to other
+ * values) to be combined.  Assuming proper use of pending counts, the
+ * actions inside {@code onCompletion} occur (once) upon completion of
+ * a task and its subtasks. No additional synchronization is required
+ * within this method to ensure thread safety of accesses to fields of
+ * this task or other completed tasks.
+ *
+ * <p><b>Completion Traversals</b>. If using {@code onCompletion} to
+ * process completions is inapplicable or inconvenient, you can use
+ * methods {@link #firstComplete} and {@link #nextComplete} to create
+ * custom traversals.  For example, to define a MapReducer that only
+ * splits out right-hand tasks in the form of the third ForEach
+ * example, the completions must cooperatively reduce along
+ * unexhausted subtask links, which can be done as follows:
+ *
+ * <pre> {@code
+ * class MapReducer<E> extends CountedCompleter<E> { // version 2
+ *   final E[] array; final MyMapper<E> mapper;
+ *   final MyReducer<E> reducer; final int lo, hi;
+ *   MapReducer<E> forks, next; // record subtask forks in list
+ *   E result;
+ *   MapReducer(CountedCompleter<?> p, E[] array, MyMapper<E> mapper,
+ *              MyReducer<E> reducer, int lo, int hi, MapReducer<E> next) {
+ *     super(p);
+ *     this.array = array; this.mapper = mapper;
+ *     this.reducer = reducer; this.lo = lo; this.hi = hi;
+ *     this.next = next;
+ *   }
+ *   public void compute() {
+ *     int l = lo, h = hi;
+ *     while (h - l >= 2) {
+ *       int mid = (l + h) >>> 1;
+ *       addToPendingCount(1);
+ *       (forks = new MapReducer(this, array, mapper, reducer, mid, h, forks)).fork();
+ *       h = mid;
+ *     }
+ *     if (h > l)
+ *       result = mapper.apply(array[l]);
+ *     // process completions by reducing along and advancing subtask links
+ *     for (CountedCompleter<?> c = firstComplete(); c != null; c = c.nextComplete()) {
+ *       for (MapReducer t = (MapReducer)c, s = t.forks; s != null; s = t.forks = s.next)
+ *         t.result = reducer.apply(t.result, s.result);
+ *     }
+ *   }
+ *   public E getRawResult() { return result; }
+ *
+ *   public static <E> E mapReduce(E[] array, MyMapper<E> mapper, MyReducer<E> reducer) {
+ *     return new MapReducer<E>(null, array, mapper, reducer,
+ *                              0, array.length, null).invoke();
+ *   }
+ * }}</pre>
+ *
+ * <p><b>Triggers.</b> Some CountedCompleters are themselves never
+ * forked, but instead serve as bits of plumbing in other designs;
+ * including those in which the completion of one or more async tasks
+ * triggers another async task. For example:
+ *
+ * <pre> {@code
+ * class HeaderBuilder extends CountedCompleter<...> { ... }
+ * class BodyBuilder extends CountedCompleter<...> { ... }
+ * class PacketSender extends CountedCompleter<...> {
+ *   PacketSender(...) { super(null, 1); ... } // trigger on second completion
+ *   public void compute() { } // never called
+ *   public void onCompletion(CountedCompleter<?> caller) { sendPacket(); }
+ * }
+ * // sample use:
+ * PacketSender p = new PacketSender();
+ * new HeaderBuilder(p, ...).fork();
+ * new BodyBuilder(p, ...).fork();}</pre>
