Ok, so, I[ve looked at the code, I've read teh man pages. I've looked at soem usages.. Why do we need the condvar stuff? it seems very similar to the existing msleep code. Now we have: msleep mutexes, condvars sx locks (on the way out) lockmanager I'm not sure I see what you can achieve with convars that you can't achieve with msleep(). However it's unlikely that someone would have gone to so much trouble for no reason, so I'm missing something.. Are they only implimented as a building block for sx locks?
