But just wait in threads is bad, because of spurious wake ups. It should be like

while (!::we_can_start) g_some_cond.wait(condition_lock);

and

::we_can_start = true; condition_lock.notify_all();

Yes, I do need to read my OS dev textbook again which tried to hammer this in. Is there some way to encapsulate this? Bad idea? Thanks, Sohail
