// whose threads invoke "process_strong_roots" must
// call "change_strong_roots_parity" in sequential code starting such a
// task. (This also means that a parallel thread may only call
// process_strong_roots once.)
//
// For calls to process_strong_roots by sequential code, the parity is
// updated automatically.

// threads, will contain a "parity" field. A task will is claimed in the
// current "process_strong_roots" call only if its parity field is the
// same as the "strong_roots_parity"; task claiming is accomplished by
// updating the parity field to the strong_roots_parity with a CAS.
//
// If the client meats this spec, then strong_roots_parity() will have
// the following properties:
// a) to return a different value than was returned before the last
// call to change_strong_roots_parity, and
// c) to never return a distinguished value (zero) with which such
// task-claiming variables may be initialized, to indicate "never
// claimed".
