    // bugs/flaws at the different stages of its evolution, so below is a detailed
    // description of the issues taken into consideration in the framework of the
    // current design.
    //
    // In case of using fire-and-forget tasks (scheduled via task::enqueue())
    // master thread is allowed to leave its arena before all its work is executed,
    // and market may temporarily revoke all workers from this arena. Since revoked
    // workers never attempt to reset arena state to EMPTY and cancel its request
    // to RML for threads, the arena object is destroyed only when both the last
    // thread is leaving it and arena's state is EMPTY (that is its master thread
    // left and it does not contain any work).
    // Thus resetting arena to EMPTY state (as earlier TBB versions did) should not
    // be done here (or anywhere else in the master thread to that matter); doing so
    // can result either in arena's premature destruction (at least without
    // additional costly checks in workers) or in unnecessary arena state changes
    // (and ensuing workers migration).
    //
    // A worker that checks for work presence and transitions arena to the EMPTY
    // state (in snapshot taking procedure arena::is_out_of_work()) updates
    // arena::my_pool_state first and only then arena::my_num_workers_requested.
    // So the check for work absence must be done against the latter field.
    //
    // In a time window between decrementing the active threads count and checking
    // if there is an outstanding request for workers. New worker thread may arrive,
    // finish remaining work, set arena state to empty, and leave decrementing its
    // refcount and destroying. Then the current thread will destroy the arena
    // the second time. To preclude it a local copy of the outstanding request
    // value can be stored before decrementing active threads count.
    //
    // But this technique may cause two other problem. When the stored request is
    // zero, it is possible that arena still has threads and they can generate new
    // tasks and thus re-establish non-zero requests. Then all the threads can be
    // revoked (as described above) leaving this thread the last one, and causing
    // it to destroy non-empty arena.
    //
    // The other problem takes place when the stored request is non-zero. Another
    // thread may complete the work, set arena state to empty, and leave without
    // arena destruction before this thread decrements the refcount. This thread
    // cannot destroy the arena either. Thus the arena may be "orphaned".
    //
    // In both cases we cannot dereference arena pointer after the refcount is
    // decremented, as our arena may already be destroyed.
    //
    // If this is the master thread, the market is protected by refcount to it.
    // In case of workers market's liveness is ensured by the RML connection
    // rundown protocol, according to which the client (i.e. the market) lives
    // until RML server notifies it about connection termination, and this
    // notification is fired only after all workers return into RML.
    //
    // Thus if we decremented refcount to zero we ask the market to check arena
    // state (including the fact if it is alive) under the lock.
