>     SYNOPSIS:
> WindowsCE support up to 256 priority level but the implementation of
> ace/OS_NS_Thread.inl uses deprecated WindowsCE method so ACE can use
> only
> 8 priority levels.
> 
>     DESCRIPTION:
> As you can read on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-
> us/library/aa450596.aspx
> WindowsCE support 256 priority levels. But the ACE method
> ACE_OS::thr_getprio uses the legacy WindowsCE method
> ::GetThreadPriority
> in order to retrieve the priority of current thread. So ACE
> applications
> for WindowsCE can use 8 priority levels only. This is a big problem for
> realtime based WindowsCE applications. If ACE would use
> ::CeGetThreadPriority instead of ::GetThreadPriority all 256 levels
> could
> be used.
