Hi,
I wanted to use Monitor.Wait but the millisecondsTim eout parameter is of
type
int, and also with the TimeSpan param it can't be greater than MaxInt32
milliseconds.
What to do ?
Thanks.

Hi Yaron,
you must want to wait for a long time, that will give you over 24days of
waiting time :-).
I would recommend that if you want to wait longer you put the call to Wait
inside a loop, the only way to exit the loop is if you acquire the monitor
without timing out (or if the user cancels it), if you do time out the loop
will iterate again calling Monitor.Wait again.
Hope that helps

Is that really a problem? You mean you have to wait longer than 25 days?

Why would you ever need to hold a lock for more than 28 day's?

If ya really want it to be that loooog, a simple subscription service will do
a little better (say a thread wake up every month, check a flag, send some
msg) IMO
You can wait Timeout.Infinit e ( i.e. -1) and wait forever.

Has anyone written a Queue.Queue replacement that avoids busy-waiting?
It doesn't matter if it uses os-specific APIs (eg
WaitForMultipleObjects). I did some googling around and haven't found
anything so far.
Because I know someone will ask: no, the busy-waiting hasn't been a
problem in my app. I'm just interested in reading the code.

Lets say I have a method UpdateCache() called from a single thread. I also
have a method GetCache() called from multiple threads. When UpdateCache() is
called, the cache updating is being processed. This can take time.
In the mean time, some of the multiple threads have called GetCache(), but
because the cache is being updated, I want them to wait for the
UpdateCache() to finish.
Something like this, in a very simplified code:

I am having some strange thread synchronization problems that require me to
better understand the intricacies of Monitor.Wait/Pulse.
I have 3 threads. Thread 1 does a Monitor.Wait in a SyncLock block

the same resource and after executing some code in their blocks they both do
a Monitor.Pulse to hand of the locked resource back to thread 1.
While thread 1 has...

The documentation on MSDN for the overloaded Monitor.wait(object,timespan, bool) is:
public static bool Wait(
Object obj,
TimeSpan timeout,

Releases the lock on an object and blocks the current thread until it reacquires the lock. If the specified time-out interval elapses, the thread enters the ready queue. Optionally exits the synchronization domain for the synchronized context before the wait and...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
