-/* We emulate condition variables with events. It is sufficient here.
- WaitForMultipleObjects() allows the event to be caught and the mutex
- to be taken atomically.
- As for SignalObjectAndWait(), its semantics are unfortunately a bit
- more foggy. Many sources on the Web define it as atomically releasing
- the first object while starting to wait on the second, but MSDN states
- it is *not* atomic...
-
- In any case, the emulation here is tailored for our particular use case.
- For example, we don't care how many threads are woken up when a condition
- gets signalled. Generic emulations of the pthread_cond_* API using

+/* We emulate condition variables with a semaphore.
+ We use a Semaphore rather than an auto-reset event, because although
+ an auto-resent event might appear to solve the lost-wakeup bug (race
+ condition between releasing the outer lock and waiting) because it
+ maintains state even though a wait hasn't happened, there is still
+ a lost wakeup problem if more than one thread are interrupted in the
+ critical place. A semaphore solves that.
+ Because it is ok to signal a condition variable with no one
+ waiting, we need to keep track of the number of
+ waiting threads. Otherwise, the semaphore's state could rise
+ without bound.
+
+ Generic emulations of the pthread_cond_* API using
Win32 functions can be found on the Web.
