/** This class provides a safe way to wait for or send notifications of condition changes
 *
 * This class is used in conjunction with a mutex to safely wait for or
 * notify waiters of condition changes to a resource accessible by multiple
 * threads.
 *
 * # Defined behavior
 * - All threads waiting on the condition variable wake when
 *   ConditionVariable::notify_all is called.
 * - If one or more threads are waiting on the condition variable at least
 *   one of them wakes when ConditionVariable::notify is called.
 *
 * # Undefined behavior
 * - The thread which is unblocked on ConditionVariable::notify_one is
 *   undefined if there are multiple waiters.
 * - The order which in which waiting threads acquire the condition variable's
 *   mutex after ConditionVariable::notify_all is called is undefined.
 * - When ConditionVariable::notify_one or ConditionVariable::notify_all is
 *   called and there are one or more waiters and one or more threads attempting
 *   to acquire the condition variable's mutex the order in which the mutex is
 *   acquired is undefined.
 * - The behavior of ConditionVariable::wait and ConditionVariable::wait_for
 *   is undefined if the condition variable's mutex is locked more than once by
 *   the calling thread.
 * - Spurious notifications (not triggered by the application) can occur
 *   and it is not defined when these occur.
 *
 * @note Synchronization level: Thread safe
 *
 * Example:
 * @code
 * #include "mbed.h"
 *
 * Mutex mutex;
 * ConditionVariable cond(mutex);
 *
 * // These variables are protected by locking mutex
 * uint32_t count = 0;
 * bool done = false;
 *
 * void worker_thread()
 * {
 *     mutex.lock();
 *     do {
 *         printf("Worker: Count %lu\r\n", count);
 *
 *         // Wait for a condition to change
 *         cond.wait();
 *
 *     } while (!done);
 *     printf("Worker: Exiting\r\n");
 *     mutex.unlock();
 * }
 *
 * int main() {
 *     Thread thread;
 *     thread.start(worker_thread);
 *
 *     for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
 *
 *         mutex.lock();
 *         // Change count and notify waiters of this
 *         count++;
 *         printf("Main: Set count to %lu\r\n", count);
 *         cond.notify_all();
 *         mutex.unlock();
 *
 *         wait(1.0);
 *     }
 *
 *     mutex.lock();
 *     // Change done and notify waiters of this
 *     done = true;
 *     printf("Main: Set done\r\n");
 *     cond.notify_all();
 *     mutex.unlock();
 *
 *     thread.join();
