"""
Running tasks in parallel is a simple problem, but in practice it is more complicated:
* dependencies discovered during the build (dynamic task creation)
* dependencies discovered after files are compiled
* the amount of tasks and dependencies (graph size) can be huge

This is why the dependency management is split on three different levels:
1. groups of tasks that run all after another group of tasks
2. groups of tasks that can be run in parallel
3. tasks that can run in parallel, but with possible unknown ad-hoc dependencies

The point #1 represents a strict sequential order between groups of tasks, for example a compiler is produced
and used to compile the rest, whereas #2 and #3 represent partial order constraints where #2 applies to the kind of task
and #3 applies to the task instances.

#1 is held by the task manager: ordered list of TaskGroups (see bld.add_group)
#2 is held by the task groups and the task types: precedence after/before (topological sort),
   and the constraints extracted from file extensions
#3 is held by the tasks individually (attribute run_after),
   and the scheduler (Runner.py) use Task::runnable_status to reorder the tasks

--

To try, use something like this in your code:
import Constants, Task
Task.algotype = Constants.MAXPARALLEL

--

There are two concepts with the tasks (individual units of change):
* dependency (if 1 is recompiled, recompile 2)
* order (run 2 after 1)

example 1: if t1 depends on t2 and t2 depends on t3 it is not necessary to make t1 depend on t3 (dependency is transitive)
example 2: if t1 depends on a node produced by t2, it is not immediately obvious that t1 must run after t2 (order is not obvious)

The role of the Task Manager is to give the tasks in order (groups of task that may be run in parallel one after the other)
