  //    This class factors out the non-template code in order to

  //    polymorphically.

  // These methods should be overridden by subclasses if you'd like to
  // provide <Task>-specific initialization and termination behavior.

  // information into <open>.

  virtual int close (u_long flags = 0);
  // Hook called from <ACE_Thread_Exit> when during thread exit and from
  // the default implemenation of <module_closed>.  In general, this
  // method shouldn't be called directly by an application,
  // particularly if the <Task> is running as an Active Object.
  // Instead, a special message should be passed into the <Task> via
  // the <put> method defined below, and the <svc> method should
  // interpret this as a flag to shut down the <Task>.

  virtual int module_closed (void);
  // Hook called during <ACE_Module::close>.  The default
  // implementation calls forwards the call to close(1).  Please
  // notice the changed value of the default argument of <close>.
  // This allows tasks to differ between the call has been originated
  // from <ACE_Thread_Exit> or from <module_closed>.  Be aware that
  // close(0) will be also called when a thread associated with the
  // ACE_Task instance exits.

  // = Immediate and deferred processing methods, respectively.

  // These methods should be overridden by subclasses if you'd like to
  // provide <Task>-specific message processing behavior.

  // failure occurs, returns 1 if Task is already an active object and
  // <force_active> is false (i.e., do *not* create a new thread in
  // this case), and returns 0 if Task was not already an active
  // object and a thread is created successfully or thread is an
  // active object and <force_active> is true.  Note that if
  // <force_active> is true and there are already threads spawned in
  // this <Task>, the <grp_id> parameter is ignored and the <grp_id>
  // of any newly activated thread(s) will inherit the existing
  // <grp_id> of the existing thread(s) in the <Task>.

  // ACE_DEFAULT_THREAD_PRIORITY, an "appropriate" priority value for
  // the given scheduling policy (specified in <{flags}>, e.g.,
  // <THR_SCHED_DEFAULT>) is used.  This value is calculated
  // dynamically, and is the median value between the minimum and
  // maximum priority values for the given policy.  If an explicit
  // value is given, it is used.  Note that actual priority values are
  // EXTREMEMLY implementation-dependent, and are probably best
  // avoided.
  //
  // If <thread_handles> != 0 it is assumed to be an array of <n>

  //
  // If <stack> != 0 it is assumed to be an array of <n> pointers to
  // the base of the stacks to use for the threads being spawned.
