/* nsync_wait_n() allows the client to wait on multiple objects (condition
   variables, nsync_notes, nsync_counters, etc.)  until at least one of them
   becomes ready, or a deadline expires.

It can be thought of as rather like Unix's select() or poll(),
   except the the objects being waited for are synchronization
   data structures, rather than file descriptors.

The client can construct new objects that can be waited for by implementing
   three routines.

Examples:

To wait on two nsync_notes n0, n1, and a nsync_counter c0, 
   with a deadline of abs_deadline:

// Form an array of struct nsync_waitable_s, identifying the
	// objects and the corresponding descriptors. (static initialization
	// syntax is used for brevity)
	static struct nsync_waitable_s w[] = {
		{ &n0, &nsync_note_waitable_funcs },
		{ &n1, &nsync_note_waitable_funcs },
		{ &c0, &nsync_counter_waitable_funcs }
	};
	static struct nsync_waitable_s *pw[] = { &w[0], &w[1], &w[2] };
	int n = sizeof (w) / sizeof (w[0]);

// Wait.  The mu, lock, and unlock arguments are NULL because
	// no condition variables are invovled. 
	int i = nsync_wait_n (NULL, NULL, NULL, abs_deadline, n, pw);
	if (i == n) {
		// timeout
	} else {
		// w[i].v became ready.
	}

To wait on multiple condition variables, the mu/lock/unlock parameters are
    used.  Imagine cv0 and cv1 are signalled when predicates pred0() (under
    lock mu0) and pred1() (under lock mu1) become true respectively.  Assume
    that mu0 is acquired before mu1.
	static void lock2 (void *v) {  // lock two mutexes in order
		nsync_mu **mu = (nsync_mu **) v;
		nsync_mu_lock (mu[0]);
		nsync_mu_lock (mu[1]);
	}
	static void unlock2 (void *v) { // unlock two mutexes.
		nsync_mu **mu = (nsync_mu **) v;
		nsync_mu_unlock (mu[1]);
		nsync_mu_unlock (mu[0]);
	}

// Describe the condition variables and the locks.
	static struct nsync_waitable_s w[] = {
		{ &cv0, &nsync_cv_waitable_funcs },
		{ &cv1, &nsync_cv_waitable_funcs }
	};
	static struct nsync_waitable_s *pw[] = { &w[0], &w[1] };
	nsync_mu *lock_list[] = { &mu0, &mu1 };
	int n = sizeof (w) / sizeof (w[0]);

lock2 (list_list);
	while (!pred0 () && !pred1 ()) {
                // Wait for one of the condition variables to be signalled,
                // with no timeout.
		nsync_wait_n (lock_list, &lock2, &unlock2,
			      nsync_time_no_deadline, n, pw);
	}
	if (pred0 ()) { ... }
	if (pred1 ()) { ... }
	unlock2 (list_list);
