12/// Takes two closures and *potentially* runs them in parallel. It
13/// returns a pair of the results from those closures.
14///
15/// Conceptually, calling `join()` is similar to spawning two threads,
16/// one executing each of the two closures. However, the
17/// implementation is quite different and incurs very low
18/// overhead. The underlying technique is called "work stealing": the
19/// Rayon runtime uses a fixed pool of worker threads and attempts to
20/// only execute code in parallel when there are idle CPUs to handle
21/// it.
22///
23/// When `join` is called from outside the thread pool, the calling
24/// thread will block while the closures execute in the pool.  When
25/// `join` is called within the pool, the calling thread still actively
26/// participates in the thread pool. It will begin by executing closure
27/// A (on the current thread). While it is doing that, it will advertise
28/// closure B as being available for other threads to execute. Once closure A
29/// has completed, the current thread will try to execute closure B;
30/// if however closure B has been stolen, then it will look for other work
31/// while waiting for the thief to fully execute closure B. (This is the
32/// typical work-stealing strategy).
33///
34/// # Examples
35///
36/// This example uses join to perform a quick-sort (note this is not a
37/// particularly optimized implementation: if you **actually** want to
38/// sort for real, you should prefer [the `par_sort` method] offered
39/// by Rayon).
40///
41/// [the `par_sort` method]: ../rayon/slice/trait.ParallelSliceMut.html#method.par_sort
42///
43/// ```rust
44/// # use rayon_core as rayon;
45/// let mut v = vec![5, 1, 8, 22, 0, 44];
46/// quick_sort(&mut v);
47/// assert_eq!(v, vec![0, 1, 5, 8, 22, 44]);
48///
49/// fn quick_sort<T:PartialOrd+Send>(v: &mut [T]) {
50///    if v.len() > 1 {
51///        let mid = partition(v);
52///        let (lo, hi) = v.split_at_mut(mid);
53///        rayon::join(|| quick_sort(lo),
54///                    || quick_sort(hi));
55///    }
56/// }
57///
58/// // Partition rearranges all items `<=` to the pivot
59/// // item (arbitrary selected to be the last item in the slice)
60/// // to the first half of the slice. It then returns the
61/// // "dividing point" where the pivot is placed.
62/// fn partition<T:PartialOrd+Send>(v: &mut [T]) -> usize {
63///     let pivot = v.len() - 1;
64///     let mut i = 0;
65///     for j in 0..pivot {
66///         if v[j] <= v[pivot] {
67///             v.swap(i, j);
68///             i += 1;
69///         }
70///     }
71///     v.swap(i, pivot);
72///     i
73/// }
74/// ```
75///
76/// # Warning about blocking I/O
77///
78/// The assumption is that the closures given to `join()` are
79/// CPU-bound tasks that do not perform I/O or other blocking
80/// operations. If you do perform I/O, and that I/O should block
81/// (e.g., waiting for a network request), the overall performance may
82/// be poor.  Moreover, if you cause one closure to be blocked waiting
83/// on another (for example, using a channel), that could lead to a
84/// deadlock.
85///
86/// # Panics
87///
88/// No matter what happens, both closures will always be executed.  If
89/// a single closure panics, whether it be the first or second
90/// closure, that panic will be propagated and hence `join()` will
91/// panic with the same panic value. If both closures panic, `join()`
92/// will panic with the panic value from the first closure.
