// This is a condition variable that is suitable for use with any lock-like object, including
// our own WTF::Lock. It features standard wait()/notifyOne()/notifyAll() methods in addition to
// a variety of wait-with-timeout methods. This includes methods that use WTF's own notion of
// time, like wall-clock time (i.e. currentTime()) and monotonic time (i.e.
// monotonicallyIncreasingTime()). This is a very efficient condition variable. It only requires
// one byte of memory. notifyOne() and notifyAll() require just a load and branch for the fast
// case where no thread is waiting. This condition variable, when used with WTF::Lock, can
// outperform a system condition variable and lock by up to 58x.

// This is a struct without a constructor or destructor so that it can be statically initialized.
// Use Lock in instance variables.

    // of waitUntil() has some quirks:
    //
    // No spurious wake-up: in order for this to return before the timeout, some notifyOne() or
    // notifyAll() call must have happened. No scenario other than timeout or notify can lead to this
    // method returning. This means, for example, that you can't use pthread cancelation or signals to
    // cause early return.
    //
    // Past timeout: it's possible for waitUntil() to be called with a timeout in the past. In that
    // case, waitUntil() will still release the lock and reacquire it. waitUntil() will always return
    // false in that case. This is subtly different from some pthread_cond_timedwait() implementations,
    // which may not release the lock for past timeout. But, this behavior is consistent with OpenGroup
