   pw::work_queue::WorkQueueWithBuffer<10> work_queue;

   pw::thread::Options& WorkQueueThreadOptions();
   void SomeLongRunningProcessing();

   void SomeInterruptHandler() {
       // Instead of executing the long running processing task in the interrupt,
       // the work_queue executes it on the interrupt's behalf.
       work_queue.CheckPushWork(SomeLongRunningProcessing);
   }

   int main() {
       // Start up the work_queue as a detached thread which runs forever.
       pw::thread::DetachedThread(WorkQueueThreadOptions(), work_queue);
   }
