[issue15038] Optimize python Locks on Windows

[Richard Oudkerk]

Richard Oudkerk <shibturn at gmail.com> added the comment:

1.41     Generic emulations of the pthread_cond_* API using
    1.42     earlier Win32 functions can be found on the Web.
    1.43     The following read can be edificating (or not):
    1.44     http://www.cse.wustl.edu/~schmidt/win32-cv-1.html
    1.45 +
    1.46 +   See also 
    1.47  */

1.45 and 1.46 should be removed?

Also I would not recommend the win32-cv-1.html page as "edificating" (edifying?).  The implementations all either suffer from the same stolen wakeup issue or are broken.*


* win32-cv-1.html assumes that SignalObjectAndWait() is atomic and that PulseEvent() is guaranteed to wake a waiting thread if there is one -- but Microsoft's documentation now admits that both these assumptions are false.
