This emulates Win32 manual-reset events using futexes or conditional variables. Typical ways to use them are with multi-producer, single-consumer data structures, to test for a complex condition whose elements come from different threads: for (;;) { qemu_event_reset(ev); ... test complex condition ... if (condition is true) { break; } qemu_event_wait(ev); } Or more efficiently (but with some duplication): ... evaluate condition ... while (!condition) { qemu_event_reset(ev); ... evaluate condition ... if (!condition) { qemu_event_wait(ev); ... evaluate condition ... } } QemuEvent provides a very fast userspace path in the common case when no other thread is waiting, or the event is not changing state.
