Condition Variable Interface

DESCRIPTION

A condition variable interface for multi-thread synchronization. Condition variables enable threads to suspend execution and yield the processors until some predicate on some shared data is satisfied.

EXAMPLE

 Thread 1:

 // Wait for signal
 silc_mutex_lock(lock);
 while (c->a == NULL)
   silc_cond_wait(cond, lock);
 ...
 silc_mutex_unlock(lock);

 Thread 2:

 // Signal
 silc_mutex_lock(lock);
 c->a = context;
 silc_cond_signal(cond);
 silc_mutex_unlock(lock);
