Re: WaitForMultipleObjects never wakes up - Windows-bug?

I've got a solution for this problem.
In the main-thread, simply wait for the semaphore and then for the
event (in this order - or you're gonna deadlock) with WaitForSingle
Object. That's not so efficitent, but works.

int main()
{
     int const NTHREADS = 2;
     HANDLE    ahWait[2];

     ::hEvt  = CreateEvent( NULL, FALSE, TRUE, NULL );
     ::hSema = CreateSemaphore( NULL, 0, 1, NULL );
     fReleased = false;

     for( int i = 0; i < NTHREADS; i++ )
         CreateThread( NULL, 0, LockAndReleaseThread, NULL, 0, NULL );

     for( ; ; )
         WaitForSingleObject( ::hSema, INFINITE ),
         WaitForSingleObject( ::hEvt, INFINITE),
         printf( "main thread is holding lock and received signal\n" ),
         ::fReleased = false,
         SetEvent( ::hEvt );

     return 0;
}
