Bug#47768 pthread_cond_timedwait() is broken on windows
The pthread_cond_wait implementations for windows might dead lock in some rare circumstances. 1) One thread (I) enter a timed wait and at a point in time ends up after mutex unlock and before WaitForMultipleObjects(...) 2) Another thread (II) enters pthread_cond_broadcast. Grabs the mutex and discovers one waiter. It set the broadcast event and closes the broadcast gate then unlocks the mutex. 3) A third thread (III) issues a pthread_cond_signal. It grabs the mutex, discovers one waiter, sets the signal event then unlock the mutex. 4) The first threads (I) enters WaitForMultipleObjects and finds out that the signal object is in a signalled state and exits the wait. 5) Thread (I) grabs the mutex and checks result status. The number of waiters is decreased and becomes equal to 0. The event returned was a signal event so the broadcast gate isn't opened. The mutex is released. 6) Thread (II) issues a new broadcast. The mutex is acquired but the number of waiters are 0 hence the broadcast gate remains closed. 7) Thread (I) enters the wait again but is blocked by the broadcast gate. This fix resolves the above issue by always resetting broadcast gate when there are no more waiters in th queue.
