If the * system clock is adjusted backwards then those threads sleep longer than * expected. Also, pthreads-win32 converts absolute times to intervals in * order to make use of the underlying Win32, and so waiting threads may * awake before their proper abstimes. * * 2) We aren't able to distinquish between threads on timed or untimed waits, * so we wake them all at the time of the adjustment so that they can * re-evaluate their conditions and re-compute their timeouts. * * 3) We rely on correctly written applications for this to work. Specifically, * they must be able to deal properly with spurious wakeups. That is, * they must re-test their condition upon wakeup and wait again if * the condition is not satisfied. */ void * pthread_timechange_handler_np (void *arg) /* * ------------------------------------------------------ * DOCPUBLIC * Broadcasts all CVs to force re-evaluation and * new timeouts if required. * * PARAMETERS * NONE * * * DESCRIPTION * Broadcasts all CVs to force re-evaluation and * new timeouts if required. * * This routine may be passed directly to pthread_create() * as a new thread in order to run asynchronously. * * * RESULTS * 0 successfully broadcast all CVs * EAGAIN Not all CVs were broadcast * * ------------------------------------------------------ */ { int result = 0; pthread_cond_t cv; EnterCriticalSection (&ptw32_cond_list_lock); cv = ptw32_cond_list_head; while (cv != NULL && 0 == result) { result = pthread_cond_broadcast (&cv); cv = cv->next; } LeaveCriticalSection (&ptw32_cond_list_lock); return (void *) (result != 0 ?
