21  * Basic Windows implementation for the nice() function.
22  *
23  * This implementation uses SetPriorityClass() as a backend for defining
24  * a process priority.
25  *
26  * The following values of inc, defines the value sent to SetPriorityClass():
27  *
28  *  +-----------------------+-----------------------------+
29  *  | Expression            | Priority type                |
30  *  +-----------------------+-----------------------------+
31  *  | priority < -9         | HIGH_PRIORITY_CLASS          |
32  *  +-----------------------+-----------------------------+
33  *  | priority < -4         | ABOVE_NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS  |
34  *  +-----------------------+-----------------------------+
35  *  | priority > 4          | BELOW_NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS  |
36  *  +-----------------------+-----------------------------+
37  *  | priority > 9          | IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS          |
38  *  +-----------------------+-----------------------------+
39  *
40  * If a value is between -4 and 4 (inclusive), then the priority will be set
41  * to NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS.
42  *
43  * These values tries to mimic that of the UNIX version of nice().
44  *
45  * This is applied to the main process, not per thread, although this could
46  * be implemented using SetThreadPriority() at one point.
47  *
48  * Note, the following priority classes are left out with intention:
49  *
50  *   . REALTIME_PRIORITY_CLASS
51  *     Realtime priority class requires special system permissions to set, and
52  *     can be dangerous in certain cases.
53  *
54  *   . PROCESS_MODE_BACKGROUND_BEGIN
55  *   . PROCESS_MODE_BACKGROUND_END
56  *     Process mode is not covered because it can easily forgotten to be changed
57  *     back and can cause unforeseen side effects that is hard to debug. Besides
58  *     that, these do generally not really fit into making a Windows somewhat
59  *     compatible nice() function.
