Hi,
I was looking at the apr_thread_cond.c, and wondering if the
apr_thread_cond_wait & apr_thread_cond_timedwait code is missing a
WaitForSingleObject call on the mutex. Would someone share some light
with me? :-)
The following is code snippet from the SVN trunk, and it seems to be
same as in apr-0.9.6. Comments in the code.
The whole condition variable thing is broken on Windows. It has more
race conditions than (insert faviourite expression). Adding a lock won't
help. Someone has to rewrite the whole thing.
(I'd actually started doing that at one point, but dropped it. Lack of
time, etc.)
