Function CONDITION-BROADCAST

Syntax:

condition-broadcast condition-variable -> generalized-boolean

Arguments and values:

condition-variable -> a condition-variable object.
generalized-boolean -> a generalized boolean.

Description:

See also:

condition-wait, condition-notify

Notes:

The order of wakeup is unspecified and does not necessarily relate to the order in which the threads went to sleep.

condition-broadcast always returns false because not all implementations’ primitives can tell whether or not some threads were indeed woken up.
