/// the closure returns, it will block until all tasks that have been

///
/// `scope()` is a more flexible building block compared to `join()`,
/// since a loop can be used to spawn any number of tasks without
/// recursing. However, that flexibility comes at a performance price:
/// tasks spawned using `scope()` must be allocated onto the heap,
/// whereas `join()` can make exclusive use of the stack. **Prefer
/// `join()` (or, even better, parallel iterators) where possible.**
///
/// # Example
///
/// The Rayon `join()` function launches two closures and waits for them
/// to stop. One could implement `join()` using a scope like so, although
/// it would be less efficient than the real implementation:
///
/// ```rust
/// # use rayon_core as rayon;
/// pub fn join<A,B,RA,RB>(oper_a: A, oper_b: B) -> (RA, RB)
///     where A: FnOnce() -> RA + Send,
///           B: FnOnce() -> RB + Send,
///           RA: Send,
///           RB: Send,
/// {
///     let mut result_a: Option<RA> = None;
///     let mut result_b: Option<RB> = None;
///     rayon::scope(|s| {
///         s.spawn(|_| result_a = Some(oper_a()));
///         s.spawn(|_| result_b = Some(oper_b()));
///     });
///     (result_a.unwrap(), result_b.unwrap())
/// }
/// ```
///
/// # A note on threading
///
/// The closure given to `scope()` executes in the Rayon thread-pool,
/// as do those given to `spawn()`. This means that you can't access
/// thread-local variables (well, you can, but they may have
/// unexpected values).
///
/// # Task execution
///
/// Task execution potentially starts as soon as `spawn()` is called.
/// The task will end sometime before `scope()` returns. Note that the
/// *closure* given to scope may return much earlier. In general
/// the lifetime of a scope created like `scope(body) goes something like this:
///
/// - Scope begins when `scope(body)` is called
/// - Scope body `body()` is invoked
///     - Scope tasks may be spawned
/// - Scope body returns
/// - Scope tasks execute, possibly spawning more tasks
/// - Once all tasks are done, scope ends and `scope()` returns
///
/// To see how and when tasks are joined, consider this example:
///
/// ```rust
/// # use rayon_core as rayon;
/// // point start
/// rayon::scope(|s| {
///     s.spawn(|s| { // task s.1
///         s.spawn(|s| { // task s.1.1
///             rayon::scope(|t| {
///                 t.spawn(|_| ()); // task t.1
///                 t.spawn(|_| ()); // task t.2
///             });
///         });
///     });
///     s.spawn(|s| { // task s.2
///     });
///     // point mid
/// });
/// // point end
/// ```
///
/// The various tasks that are run will execute roughly like so:
///
/// ```notrust
/// | (start)
/// |
/// | (scope `s` created)
/// +-----------------------------------------------+ (task s.2)
/// +-------+ (task s.1)                            |
/// |       |                                       |
/// |       +---+ (task s.1.1)                      |
/// |       |   |                                   |
/// |       |   | (scope `t` created)               |
/// |       |   +----------------+ (task t.2)       |
/// |       |   +---+ (task t.1) |                  |
/// | (mid) |   |   |            |                  |
/// :       |   + <-+------------+ (scope `t` ends) |
/// :       |   |                                   |
/// |<------+---+-----------------------------------+ (scope `s` ends)
/// |
/// | (end)
/// ```
///
/// The point here is that everything spawned into scope `s` will
/// terminate (at latest) at the same point -- right before the
/// original call to `rayon::scope` returns. This includes new
/// subtasks created by other subtasks (e.g., task `s.1.1`). If a new
/// scope is created (such as `t`), the things spawned into that scope
/// will be joined before that scope returns, which in turn occurs
/// before the creating task (task `s.1.1` in this case) finishes.
///
/// There is no guaranteed order of execution for spawns in a scope,
/// given that other threads may steal tasks at any time. However, they
/// are generally prioritized in a LIFO order on the thread from which
/// they were spawned. So in this example, absent any stealing, we can
/// expect `s.2` to execute before `s.1`, and `t.2` before `t.1`. Other
/// threads always steal from the other end of the deque, like FIFO
/// order.  The idea is that "recent" tasks are most likely to be fresh
/// in the local CPU's cache, while other threads can steal older
/// "stale" tasks.  For an alternate approach, consider
/// [`scope_fifo()`] instead.
///
/// [`scope_fifo()`]: fn.scope_fifo.html
///
/// # Accessing stack data
///
/// In general, spawned tasks may access stack data in place that
/// outlives the scope itself. Other data must be fully owned by the
/// spawned task.
///
/// ```rust
/// # use rayon_core as rayon;
/// let ok: Vec<i32> = vec![1, 2, 3];
/// rayon::scope(|s| {
///     let bad: Vec<i32> = vec![4, 5, 6];
///     s.spawn(|_| {
///         // We can access `ok` because outlives the scope `s`.
///         println!("ok: {:?}", ok);
///
///         // If we just try to use `bad` here, the closure will borrow `bad`
///         // (because we are just printing it out, and that only requires a
///         // borrow), which will result in a compilation error. Read on
///         // for options.
///         // println!("bad: {:?}", bad);
///    });
/// });
/// ```
///
/// As the comments example above suggest, to reference `bad` we must
/// take ownership of it. One way to do this is to detach the closure
/// from the surrounding stack frame, using the `move` keyword. This
/// will cause it to take ownership of *all* the variables it touches,
/// in this case including both `ok` *and* `bad`:
///
/// ```rust
/// # use rayon_core as rayon;
/// let ok: Vec<i32> = vec![1, 2, 3];
/// rayon::scope(|s| {
///     let bad: Vec<i32> = vec![4, 5, 6];
///     s.spawn(move |_| {
///         println!("ok: {:?}", ok);
///         println!("bad: {:?}", bad);
///     });
///
///     // That closure is fine, but now we can't use `ok` anywhere else,
///     // since it is owend by the previous task:
///     // s.spawn(|_| println!("ok: {:?}", ok));
/// });
/// ```
///
/// While this works, it could be a problem if we want to use `ok` elsewhere.
/// There are two choices. We can keep the closure as a `move` closure, but
/// instead of referencing the variable `ok`, we create a shadowed variable that
/// is a borrow of `ok` and capture *that*:
///
/// ```rust
/// # use rayon_core as rayon;
/// let ok: Vec<i32> = vec![1, 2, 3];
/// rayon::scope(|s| {
///     let bad: Vec<i32> = vec![4, 5, 6];
///     let ok: &Vec<i32> = &ok; // shadow the original `ok`
///     s.spawn(move |_| {
///         println!("ok: {:?}", ok); // captures the shadowed version
///         println!("bad: {:?}", bad);
///     });
///
///     // Now we too can use the shadowed `ok`, since `&Vec<i32>` references
///     // can be shared freely. Note that we need a `move` closure here though,
///     // because otherwise we'd be trying to borrow the shadowed `ok`,
///     // and that doesn't outlive `scope`.
///     s.spawn(move |_| println!("ok: {:?}", ok));
/// });
/// ```
///
/// Another option is not to use the `move` keyword but instead to take ownership
/// of individual variables:
///
/// ```rust
/// # use rayon_core as rayon;
/// let ok: Vec<i32> = vec![1, 2, 3];
/// rayon::scope(|s| {
///     let bad: Vec<i32> = vec![4, 5, 6];
///     s.spawn(|_| {
///         // Transfer ownership of `bad` into a local variable (also named `bad`).
///         // This will force the closure to take ownership of `bad` from the environment.
///         let bad = bad;
///         println!("ok: {:?}", ok); // `ok` is only borrowed.
///         println!("bad: {:?}", bad); // refers to our local variable, above.
///     });
///
///     s.spawn(|_| println!("ok: {:?}", ok)); // we too can borrow `ok`
/// });
/// ```
///
/// # Panics
///
/// If a panic occurs, either in the closure given to `scope()` or in
/// any of the spawned jobs, that panic will be propagated and the
/// call to `scope()` will panic. If multiple panics occurs, it is
/// non-deterministic which of their panic values will propagate.
/// Regardless, once a task is spawned using `scope.spawn()`, it will
/// execute, even if the spawning task should later panic. `scope()`
/// returns once all spawned jobs have completed, and any panics are
/// propagated at that point.

///
/// Under `scope_fifo()`, the spawns are prioritized in a FIFO order on
