// This example produces output similar to the following:
//
// Press Enter to create three threads and start them.
// The threads wait on auto_reset_event #1, which was created
// in the signaled state, so the first thread is released.
// This puts auto_reset_event #1 into the unsignaled state.
//
// Thread_1 waits on auto_reset_event #1.
// Thread_1 is released from auto_reset_event #1.
// Thread_1 waits on auto_reset_event #2.
// Thread_2 waits on auto_reset_event #1.
// Thread_3 waits on auto_reset_event #1.
// Press Enter to release another thread.
//
// Thread_3 is released from auto_reset_event #1.
// Thread_3 waits on auto_reset_event #2.
// Press Enter to release another thread.
//
// Thread_2 is released from auto_reset_event #1.
// Thread_2 waits on auto_reset_event #2.
//
// All threads are now waiting on auto_reset_event #2.
// Press Enter to release a thread.
//
// Thread_1 is released from auto_reset_event #2.
// Thread_1 ends.
// Press Enter to release a thread.
//
// Thread_3 is released from auto_reset_event #2.
// Thread_3 ends.
// Press Enter to release a thread.
//
// Thread_2 is released from auto_reset_event #2.
// Thread_2 ends.
