Source core/sync/condition.d

class `Condition`;
  This class represents a condition variable as conceived by C.A.R. Hoare. As per Mesa type monitors however, "signal" has been replaced with "notify" to indicate that control is not transferred to the waiter when a notification is sent.
  Examples:

      import core.thread;
      import core.sync.mutex;
      import core.sync.semaphore;

      void testNotify()
      {
          auto mutex      = new Mutex;
          auto condReady  = new Condition( mutex );
          auto semDone    = new Semaphore;
          auto synLoop    = new Object;
          int  numWaiters = 10;
          int  numTries   = 10;
          int  numReady   = 0;
          int  numTotal   = 0;
          int  numDone    = 0;
          int  numPost    = 0;

          void waiter()
          {
              for ( int i = 0; i < numTries; ++i )
              {
                  synchronized( mutex )
                  {
                      while ( numReady < 1 )

  nothrow @safe this(Mutex `m`);
    Initializes a condition object which is associated with the supplied mutex object.
    Parameters:

    Throws:
    SyncError on error.
  @property Mutex `mutex`();
    Gets the mutex associated with this condition.
    Returns:
    The mutex associated with this condition.
  void `wait`();
    Wait until notified.
    Throws:
    SyncError on error.
  bool `wait`(Duration `val`);
    Suspends the calling thread until a notification occurs or until the supplied time period has elapsed.
    Parameters:

    Duration `val` | The time to wait.

    In val must be non-negative.

    Throws:
    SyncError on error.
    Returns:
    true if notified before the timeout and false if not.
  void `notify`();
    Notifies one waiter.
    Throws:
