2 * Portable condition variable support for windows and pthreads.
3 * Everything is inline, this header can be included where needed.
4 *
5 * APIs generally return 0 on success and non-zero on error,
6 * and the caller needs to use its platform's error mechanism to
7 * discover the error (errno, or GetLastError())
8 *
9 * Note that some implementations cannot distinguish between a
10 * condition variable wait time-out and successful wait. Most often
11 * the difference is moot anyway since the wait condition must be
12 * re-checked.
13 * PyCOND_TIMEDWAIT, in addition to returning negative on error,
14 * thus returns 0 on regular success, 1 on timeout
15 * or 2 if it can't tell.

121/* The mutex is a CriticalSection object and
122 The condition variables is emulated with the help of a semaphore.
123 Semaphores are available on Windows XP (2003 server) and later.
124 We use a Semaphore rather than an auto-reset event, because although
125 an auto-resent event might appear to solve the lost-wakeup bug (race
126 condition between releasing the outer lock and waiting) because it
127 maintains state even though a wait hasn't happened, there is still
128 a lost wakeup problem if more than one thread are interrupted in the
129 critical place. A semaphore solves that, because its state is counted,
130 not Boolean.
131 Because it is ok to signal a condition variable with no one
132 waiting, we need to keep track of the number of
133 waiting threads. Otherwise, the semaphore's state could rise
134 without bound. This also helps reduce the number of "spurious wakeups"
135 that would otherwise happen.
136
137 Generic emulations of the pthread_cond_* API using
138 earlier Win32 functions can be found on the Web.
