37 * @brief ACE_Condition template specialization written using
38 * ACE_Mutexes. This allows threads to block until shared data
40 * A condition variable enables threads to atomically block and
41 * test the condition under the protection of a mutual exclu-
42 * sion lock (mutex) until the condition is satisfied. That is,
43 * the mutex must have been held by the thread before calling
44 * wait or signal on the condition. If the condition is false,
45 * a thread blocks on a condition variable and atomically
46 * releases the mutex that is waiting for the condition to
47 * change. If another thread changes the condition, it may wake
48 * up waiting threads by signaling the associated condition
49 * variable. The waiting threads, upon awakening, reacquire the
50 * mutex and re-evaluate the condition.
