// those primitive multi-threaded constructs.
// We provide a simple one argument spin wait (for 1 second), and a generic
// spin wait (for longer periods of time).

// A typical use would be:
//
// SPIN_FOR_1_SECOND_OR_UNTIL_TRUE(0 == f(x));
//
// The expression will be evaluated repeatedly until it is true, or until
// the time (1 second) expires.
// Since tests generally have a 5 second watch dog timer, this spin loop is
// typically used to get the padding needed on a given test platform to assure
// that the test passes, even if load varies, and external events vary.
