One of Bartosz' videos is on condition variables. Also, if it helps, Java has wait and notify calls built into Object that work exactly the same way.

Just like Sean said.  It's just his comment that puzzled me.

Examples would be nice.  I've done an article in the past on thread programming, maybe I'll do something for this.  If you search google for mutex condition, I'm sure you'll find loads of examples.

Now I'm really confused.

How is this thing *actually* supposed to be used? And can we add some examples to the docs?

Oops… you're right.  The original implementation (Hoare's) did, I believe, but the modern one does not.
