/**
 * @file measure context switch time between cooperative threads
 *
 * This file contains thread (coop) context switch time measurement.
 * The thread starts two cooperative thread. One thread waits on a semaphore. The other,
 * after starting, releases a semaphore which enable the first thread to run.
 * Each thread increases a common global counter and context switch back and
 * forth by yielding the cpu. When counter reaches the maximal value, threads
 * stop and the average time of context switch is displayed.
