//! # Thread Pool Module - ThreadManager
//!
//! This module provides `ThreadManager`, a standalone utility for managing threads
//! with shared data, independent of the ThreadShare structures.
//!
//! ## 🚀 Overview
//!
//! `ThreadManager` is a lightweight thread management utility that provides:
//!
//! - **Simplified Thread Spawning**: Spawn threads with descriptive names
//! - **Shared Data Management**: Manage multiple types of shared data
//! - **Thread Tracking**: Monitor active thread count and status
//! - **Automatic Thread Joining**: Wait for all threads to complete
//! - **Type-Safe Operations**: Compile-time guarantees for thread safety
//!
//! ## Key Features
//!
//! ### 🧵 Thread Management
//! - **Named Threads**: Each thread gets a descriptive name for debugging
//! - **Automatic Tracking**: Monitor active thread count and completion status
//! - **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error handling for thread failures
//! - **Resource Cleanup**: Automatic cleanup of completed threads
//!
//! ### 📦 Shared Data Support
//! - **Type-Safe Access**: Compile-time type checking for shared data
//! - **Multiple Data Types**: Support for different types of shared data
//! - **Automatic Cloning**: Safe data sharing between threads
//! - **Thread Isolation**: Each thread gets its own clone of shared data
//!
//! ## Architecture
//!
//! `ThreadManager` uses internal structures to track:
//!
//! - **`threads: Arc<Mutex<HashMap<String, JoinHandle<()>>>>`** - Active thread tracking
//! - **`shared_data: Arc<Mutex<HashMap<TypeId, Box<dyn Any + Send + Sync>>>>`** - Shared data storage
//!
//! ## Example Usage
//!
//! ### Basic Thread Management
//! ```rust
//! use thread_share::{ThreadManager, share};
//!
//! fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//!     let manager = ThreadManager::new();
//!     let data = share!(vec![1, 2, 3]);
//!
//!     // Spawn individual threads
//!     manager.spawn("sorter", data.clone(), |data| {
//!         data.update(|v| v.sort());
//!     })?;
//!
//!     manager.spawn("validator", data.clone(), |data| {
//!         assert!(data.get().is_sorted());
//!     })?;
//!
//!     // Wait for completion
//!     manager.join_all()?;
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ### Advanced Usage
//! ```rust
//! use thread_share::{ThreadManager, share};
//! use std::time::Duration;
//!
//! #[derive(Clone)]
//! struct WorkItem {
//!     id: u32,
//!     data: String,
//! }
//!
//! fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//!     let manager = ThreadManager::new();
//!     let work_queue = share!(vec![
//!         WorkItem { id: 1, data: "Task 1".to_string() },
//!         WorkItem { id: 2, data: "Task 2".to_string() },
//!     ]);
//!
//!     // Spawn worker threads
//!     for i in 0..3 {
//!         let queue_clone = work_queue.clone();
//!         let worker_id = i;
//!         manager.spawn(&format!("worker-{}", i), queue_clone, move |queue| {
//!             loop {
//!                 let mut items = queue.get();
//!                 if items.is_empty() {
//!                     break;
//!                 }
//!                 
//!                 if let Some(item) = items.pop() {
//!                     println!("Worker {} processing: {}", worker_id, item.data);
//!                     std::thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(100));
//!                 }
//!                 
//!                 queue.set(items);
//!             }
//!         })?;
//!     }
//!
//!     // Wait for all workers to complete
//!     manager.join_all()?;
//!     println!("All work completed!");
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Thread Lifecycle
//!
//! 1. **Creation**: `ThreadManager::new()` or `ThreadManager::default()`
//! 2. **Spawning**: `manager.spawn(name, data, function)` creates named threads
//! 3. **Execution**: Threads run with access to shared data
//! 4. **Monitoring**: Track active threads with `active_threads()`
//! 5. **Completion**: Wait for all threads with `join_all()`
//!
//! ## Performance Characteristics
//!
//! - **Thread Spawning**: Minimal overhead over standard `thread::spawn`
//! - **Thread Tracking**: Constant-time operations for thread management
//! - **Memory Usage**: Small overhead for tracking structures
//! - **Scalability**: Efficient for up to hundreds of threads
//! - **Lock Contention**: Minimal due to efficient `parking_lot` primitives
//!
//! ## Best Practices
//!
//! 1. **Use descriptive thread names** for easier debugging
//! 2. **Keep thread functions focused** on single responsibilities
//! 3. **Always call `join_all()`** to ensure proper cleanup
//! 4. **Monitor thread count** with `active_threads()` for debugging
//! 5. **Handle errors gracefully** from `spawn()` and `join_all()`
//! 6. **Clone shared data** for each thread to avoid ownership issues
//!
//! ## Error Handling
//!
//! ```rust
//! use thread_share::{ThreadManager, share};
//!
//! fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//!     let manager = ThreadManager::new();
//!     let data = share!(0);
//!
//!     // Handle spawn errors
//!     if let Err(e) = manager.spawn("worker", data.clone(), |data| { /* logic */ }) {
//!         eprintln!("Failed to spawn worker: {}", e);
//!         return Ok(());
//!     }
//!
//!     // Handle join errors
//!     if let Err(e) = manager.join_all() {
//!         eprintln!("Thread execution failed: {}", e);
//!     }
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Thread Safety
//!
//! `ThreadManager` automatically implements `Send` and `Sync` traits,
//! making it safe to use across thread boundaries. The internal synchronization
//! primitives ensure that all operations are thread-safe.
//!
//! ## Memory Management
//!
//! - **Arc**: Provides reference counting for shared ownership
//! - **Mutex**: Ensures exclusive access to internal structures
//! - **HashMap**: Efficient storage for thread handles and shared data
//! - **Automatic Cleanup**: Completed threads are automatically removed
//!
//! ## Comparison with EnhancedThreadShare
//!
//! | Aspect | ThreadManager | EnhancedThreadShare |
//! |--------|---------------|-------------------|
//! | **Purpose** | Standalone utility | Integrated with ThreadShare |
//! | **Data Management** | Manual cloning required | Automatic data management |
//! | **Thread Tracking** | Manual thread management | Built-in thread tracking |
//! | **Use Case** | Complex thread scenarios | Simple thread management |
//! | **Flexibility** | High | Medium |
//! | **Ease of Use** | Medium | High |
//!
//! ## Integration with ThreadShare
//!
//! `ThreadManager` works seamlessly with `ThreadShare<T>`:
//!
//!
//! ## Advanced Patterns
//!
//! ### Thread Pools
//! ```rust
//! use thread_share::{ThreadManager, share};
//!
//! fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//!     let manager = ThreadManager::new();
//!     let counter = share!(0u32);
//!
//!     // Spawn worker pool
//!     for i in 0..4 {
//!         let counter_clone = counter.clone();
//!         let worker_id = i;
//!         manager.spawn(&format!("worker-{}", i), counter_clone, move |data| {
//!             data.update(|x| *x = *x + 1);
//!             println!("Worker {} incremented counter", worker_id);
//!         })?;
//!     }
//!
//!     // Wait for all workers to complete
//!     manager.join_all()?;
//!     println!("Final counter value: {}", counter.get());
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ### Producer-Consumer
//! ```rust
//! use thread_share::{ThreadManager, share};
//! use std::time::Duration;
//!
//! fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//!     let manager = ThreadManager::new();
//!     let queue = share!(Vec::<String>::new());
//!
//!     // Producer thread
//!     manager.spawn("producer", queue.clone(), |queue| {
//!         for i in 0..5 {
//!             queue.update(|q| q.push(format!("Item {}", i)));
//!             std::thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(10));
//!         }
//!     })?;
//!
//!     // Consumer thread
//!     manager.spawn("consumer", queue.clone(), |queue| {
//!         let mut consumed_count = 0;
//!         while consumed_count < 5 {
//!             let items = queue.get();
//!             if items.is_empty() {
//!                 std::thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(10));
//!                 continue;
//!             }
//!             
//!             if let Some(item) = items.last() {
//!                 println!("Consumed: {}", item);
//!                 queue.update(|q| { q.pop(); });
//!                 consumed_count = consumed_count + 1;
//!             }
//!         }
//!     })?;
//!
//!     // Wait for completion
//!     manager.join_all()?;
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
