//       Class : ConditionVar
// Description : A condition variable, usually used to communicate
//               information about changing state to a thread that is
//               waiting for something to happen.  A condition
//               variable can be used to "wake up" a thread when some
//               arbitrary condition has changed.
//
//               The ConditionVar class does not support the full
//               semantics of POSIX condition variables.  In
//               particular, it does not support the broadcast or
//               signal_all function.  See ConditionVarFull for a more
//               complete (but possibly more expensive) API.
//
//               A condition variable is associated with a single
//               mutex, and several condition variables may share the
//               same mutex.
//
//               This class inherits its implementation either from
//               ConditionVarDebug or ConditionVarDirect, depending on
//               the definition of DEBUG_THREADS.
