module Async
	# A semaphore is used to control access to a common resource in a concurrent system. A useful way to think of a semaphore as used in the real-world systems is as a record of how many units of a particular resource are available, coupled with operations to adjust that record safely (i.e. to avoid race conditions) as units are required or become free, and, if necessary, wait until a unit of the resource becomes available.
	class Semaphore
		def initialize(limit = 1, parent: nil)
			@count = 0
			@limit = limit
			@waiting = []
			
			@parent = parent
		end
		
		# The current number of tasks that have acquired the semaphore.
		attr :count
		
		# The maximum number of tasks that can acquire the semaphore.
