/*
 * Portable condition variable support for windows and pthreads.
 * Everything is inline, this header can be included where needed.
 *
 * APIs generally return 0 on success and non-zero on error,
 * and the caller needs to use its platform's error mechanism to
 * discover the error (errno, or GetLastError())
 *
 * Note that some implementations cannot distinguish between a
 * condition variable wait time-out and successful wait. Most often
 * the difference is moot anyway since the wait condition must be
 * re-checked.
 * PyCOND_TIMEDWAIT, in addition to returning negative on error,
 * thus returns 0 on regular success, 1 on timeout
 * or 2 if it can't tell.
 *
 * There are at least two caveats with using these condition variables,
 * due to the fact that they may be emulated with Semaphores on
 * Windows:
 * 1) While PyCOND_SIGNAL() will wake up at least one thread, we
 *    cannot currently guarantee that it will be one of the threads
 *    already waiting in a PyCOND_WAIT() call.  It _could_ cause
 *    the wakeup of a subsequent thread to try a PyCOND_WAIT(),
 *    including the thread doing the PyCOND_SIGNAL() itself.
 *    The same applies to PyCOND_BROADCAST(), if N threads are waiting
 *    then at least N threads will be woken up, but not necessarily
 *    those already waiting.
 *    For this reason, don't make the scheduling assumption that a
 *    specific other thread will get the wakeup signal
 * 2) The _mutex_ must be held when calling PyCOND_SIGNAL() and
 *    PyCOND_BROADCAST().
 *    While e.g. the posix standard strongly recommends that the mutex
 *    associated with the condition variable is held when a
 *    pthread_cond_signal() call is made, this is not a hard requirement,
 *    although scheduling will not be "reliable" if it isn't.  Here
 *    the mutex is used for internal synchronization of the emulated
 *    Condition Variable.

/* The mutex is a CriticalSection object and
   The condition variables is emulated with the help of a semaphore.
   Semaphores are available on Windows XP (2003 server) and later.
   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 its state is counted,
   not Boolean.
   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.  This also helps reduce the number of "spurious wakeups"
   that would otherwise happen.

   This implementation still has the problem that the threads woken
   with a "signal" aren't necessarily those that are already
   waiting.  It corresponds to listing 2 in:
   http://birrell.org/andrew/papers/ImplementingCVs.pdf

   Generic emulations of the pthread_cond_* API using
   earlier Win32 functions can be found on the Web.
   The following read can be give background information to these issues,
   but the implementations are all broken in some way.
