I suggest the design used in the ILU runtime:
from $ILU/src/runtime/kernel/iluxport.h:
/* $Id: iluxport.h,v 1.116 1995/02/23 23:01:08 spreitze Exp $ */
/* Last edited by Mike Spreitzer February 23, 1995 2:42 pm PST */
/* ================ Concurrent I/O routines ================ */
/*Main Invariant holds; L1, L2 otherwise unconstrained*/
_FN_DECL(void ilu_RunMainLoop, (int *stop) );
/* A single-threaded runtime calls this to animate all true servers, handle the alarm, and do any other registered input processing. A multi-threaded runtime never calls this procedure, instead forking threads to animate servers and pass the time. This procedure may be invoked recursively, so long as no two cuncurrent invocations are given the address for "stop". This procedure processes input and time until ilu_ExitMainLoop is invoked on stop. */
/*L1, L2, Main unconstrained; synch provided by single-threadedness*/
_FN_DECL(void ilu_ExitMainLoop, (int *stop) );
/* This causes the current invocation of ilu_RunMainLoop on stop to return once it's done with the input handler or alarm it's currently executing. */
