libtscb -- Thread safe callback library

libtscb is a library that contains various utitilies for thread-safe programming. In particular, it provides

• A thread-safe signal/slot implementation (observer pattern)
• Thread-safe I/O-readiness (select/poll) notification
• Thread-safe timer notification (with templated time data type)
• Reactor for dispatching events from multiple sources

What sets this library apart from others is the performance compared to other implementations, see the performance section of the documentation for a quantitative comparison. The performance is mainly achieved through extensive use of atomic operations instead of locking, see the synchronization section of the manual for a rough description of the inner workings.
