require 'thread' require 'concurrent/utilities' require 'concurrent/atomic/condition' module Concurrent # Old school kernel-style event reminiscent of Win32 programming in C++. # # When an `Event` is created it is in the `unset` state. Threads can choose to # `#wait` on the event, blocking until released by another thread. When one # thread wants to alert all blocking threads it calls the `#set` method which # will then wake up all listeners. Once an `Event` has been set it remains set. # New threads calling `#wait` will return immediately. An `Event` may be # `#reset` at any time once it has been set. # # @see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682655.aspx class Event # Creates a new `Event` in the unset state.
