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 )
                  {

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

  bool `wait`(this Q)(Duration `val`, bool `_unused_`)
  if (is(Q == Condition) || is(Q == shared(Condition)));
    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.
