// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// A WaitableEvent on POSIX is implemented as a wait-list. Currently we don't
// support cross-process events (where one process can signal an event which
// others are waiting on). Because of this, we can avoid having one thread per
// listener in several cases.
//
// The WaitableEvent maintains a list of waiters, protected by a lock. Each
// waiter is either an async wait, in which case we have a Task and the
// MessageLoop to run it on, or a blocking wait, in which case we have the
// condition variable to signal.
//
// Waiting involves grabbing the lock and adding oneself to the wait list. Async
// waits can be canceled, which means grabbing the lock and removing oneself
// from the list.
//
// Waiting on multiple events is handled by adding a single, synchronous wait to
// the wait-list of many events. An event passes a pointer to itself when
// firing a waiter and so we can store that pointer to find out which event
// triggered.
