struct Waiter;
/** This class provides a safe way to wait for or send notifications of condition changes
/** The ConditionVariable class is a synchronization primitive that allows
* threads to wait until a particular condition occurs.
*
* This class is used in conjunction with a mutex to safely wait for or
* notify waiters of condition changes to a resource accessible by multiple
* Use the condition variable in conjunction with a mutex to safely wait for
* or notify waiters of condition changes to a resource accessible by multiple
* threads.
*
* # Defined behavior
* - All threads waiting on the condition variable wake when
* ConditionVariable::notify_all is called.
* - If one or more threads are waiting on the condition variable at least
* one of them wakes when ConditionVariable::notify is called.
* The thread that intends to wait on a ConditionVariable must:
* - Acquire a lock on a mutex.
* - Execute `wait`, `wait_for` or `wait_until`. While the thread is waiting,
* the mutex is unlocked.
* - When the condition variable has been notified, or in the case of `wait_for`
* and `wait_until` the timeout expires, the thread is awakened.
*
* # Undefined behavior
* - The thread which is unblocked on ConditionVariable::notify_one is
* The thread that intends to notify a ConditionVariable must:
* - Acquire a lock on the mutex used to construct the condition variable.
* - Execute `notify_one` or `notify_all` on the condition variable.
*
* #### Defined behavior
* - All threads waiting on the condition variable wake when
* `ConditionVariable::notify_all` is called.
* - At least one thread waiting on the condition variable wakes
* when `ConditionVariable::notify_one` is called.
* - While a thread is waiting for notification of a
* ConditionVariable, it releases the lock held on the mutex.
* - The ConditionVariable reacquires the mutex lock before exiting the wait
* function.
*
* #### Undefined behavior
* - The thread that is unblocked on `ConditionVariable::notify_one` is
* undefined if there are multiple waiters.
* - The order which in which waiting threads acquire the condition variable's
* mutex after ConditionVariable::notify_all is called is undefined.
* - When ConditionVariable::notify_one or ConditionVariable::notify_all is
* called and there are one or more waiters and one or more threads attempting
* to acquire the condition variable's mutex the order in which the mutex is
* - Calling wait if the mutex is not locked by the current thread is undefined
* behavior.
* - The order in which waiting threads acquire the condition variable's
* mutex after `ConditionVariable::notify_all` is called is undefined.
* - When `ConditionVariable::notify_one` or `ConditionVariable::notify_all` is
* called and there are one or more waiters, and one or more threads
* attempting to acquire the condition variable's mutex, the order in which the mutex is
* acquired is undefined.
* - The behavior of ConditionVariable::wait and ConditionVariable::wait_for
* - The behavior of `ConditionVariable::wait` and `ConditionVariable::wait_for`
* is undefined if the condition variable's mutex is locked more than once by
* the calling thread.
* - Spurious notifications (not triggered by the application) can occur
* - Spurious notifications (not triggered by the application) can occur,
* and it is not defined when these occur.
