/**

 * {@code Condition} factors out the {@code Object} monitor

 * methods ({@link Object#wait() wait}, {@link Object#notify notify}

 * and {@link Object#notifyAll notifyAll}) into distinct objects to

 * give the effect of having multiple wait-sets per object, by

 * combining them with the use of arbitrary {@link Lock} implementations.

 * Where a {@code Lock} replaces the use of {@code synchronized} methods

 * and statements, a {@code Condition} replaces the use of the Object

 * monitor methods.

 *

 * <p>Conditions (also known as <em>condition queues</em> or

 * <em>condition variables</em>) provide a means for one thread to

 * suspend execution (to "wait") until notified by another

 * thread that some state condition may now be true.  Because access

 * to this shared state information occurs in different threads, it

 * must be protected, so a lock of some form is associated with the

 * condition. The key property that waiting for a condition provides

 * is that it <em>atomically</em> releases the associated lock and

 * suspends the current thread, just like {@code Object.wait}.

 *

 * <p>A {@code Condition} instance is intrinsically bound to a lock.

 * To obtain a {@code Condition} instance for a particular {@link Lock}

 * instance use its {@link Lock#newCondition newCondition()} method.

 *

 * <p>As an example, suppose we have a bounded buffer which supports

 * {@code put} and {@code take} methods.  If a

 * {@code take} is attempted on an empty buffer, then the thread will block

 * until an item becomes available; if a {@code put} is attempted on a

 * full buffer, then the thread will block until a space becomes available.

 * We would like to keep waiting {@code put} threads and {@code take}

 * threads in separate wait-sets so that we can use the optimization of

 * only notifying a single thread at a time when items or spaces become

 * available in the buffer. This can be achieved using two

 * {@link Condition} instances.

 * <pre>

 * class BoundedBuffer {

 *   <b>final Lock lock = new ReentrantLock();</b>

 *   final Condition notFull  = <b>lock.newCondition(); </b>

 *   final Condition notEmpty = <b>lock.newCondition(); </b>

 *

 *   final Object[] items = new Object[100];

 *   int putptr, takeptr, count;

 *

 *   public void put(Object x) throws InterruptedException {

 *     <b>lock.lock();

 *     try {</b>

 *       while (count == items.length)

 *         <b>notFull.await();</b>

 *       items[putptr] = x;

 *       if (++putptr == items.length) putptr = 0;

 *       ++count;

 *       <b>notEmpty.signal();</b>

 *     <b>} finally {

 *       lock.unlock();

 *     }</b>

 *   }

 *

 *   public Object take() throws InterruptedException {

 *     <b>lock.lock();

 *     try {</b>

 *       while (count == 0)

 *         <b>notEmpty.await();</b>

 *       Object x = items[takeptr];

 *       if (++takeptr == items.length) takeptr = 0;

 *       --count;

 *       <b>notFull.signal();</b>

 *       return x;

 *     <b>} finally {

 *       lock.unlock();

 *     }</b>

 *   }

 * }

 * </pre>

 *

 * (The {@link java.util.concurrent.ArrayBlockingQueue} class provides

 * this functionality, so there is no reason to implement this

 * sample usage class.)

 *

 * <p>A {@code Condition} implementation can provide behavior and semantics

 * that is

 * different from that of the {@code Object} monitor methods, such as

 * guaranteed ordering for notifications, or not requiring a lock to be held

 * when performing notifications.

 * If an implementation provides such specialized semantics then the

 * implementation must document those semantics.

 *

 * <p>Note that {@code Condition} instances are just normal objects and can

 * themselves be used as the target in a {@code synchronized} statement,

 * and can have their own monitor {@link Object#wait wait} and

 * {@link Object#notify notification} methods invoked.

 * Acquiring the monitor lock of a {@code Condition} instance, or using its

 * monitor methods, has no specified relationship with acquiring the

 * {@link Lock} associated with that {@code Condition} or the use of its

 * {@linkplain #await waiting} and {@linkplain #signal signalling} methods.

 * It is recommended that to avoid confusion you never use {@code Condition}

 * instances in this way, except perhaps within their own implementation.

 *

 * <p>Except where noted, passing a {@code null} value for any parameter

 * will result in a {@link NullPointerException} being thrown.

 *

 * <h3>Implementation Considerations</h3>

 *

 * <p>When waiting upon a {@code Condition}, a &quot;<em>spurious

 * wakeup</em>&quot; is permitted to occur, in

 * general, as a concession to the underlying platform semantics.

 * This has little practical impact on most application programs as a

 * {@code Condition} should always be waited upon in a loop, testing

 * the state predicate that is being waited for.  An implementation is

 * free to remove the possibility of spurious wakeups but it is

 * recommended that applications programmers always assume that they can

 * occur and so always wait in a loop.

 *

 * <p>The three forms of condition waiting

 * (interruptible, non-interruptible, and timed) may differ in their ease of

 * implementation on some platforms and in their performance characteristics.

 * In particular, it may be difficult to provide these features and maintain

 * specific semantics such as ordering guarantees.

 * Further, the ability to interrupt the actual suspension of the thread may

 * not always be feasible to implement on all platforms.

 *

 * <p>Consequently, an implementation is not required to define exactly the

 * same guarantees or semantics for all three forms of waiting, nor is it

 * required to support interruption of the actual suspension of the thread.

 *

 * <p>An implementation is required to

 * clearly document the semantics and guarantees provided by each of the

 * waiting methods, and when an implementation does support interruption of

 * thread suspension then it must obey the interruption semantics as defined

 * in this interface.

 *

 * <p>As interruption generally implies cancellation, and checks for

 * interruption are often infrequent, an implementation can favor responding

 * to an interrupt over normal method return. This is true even if it can be

 * shown that the interrupt occurred after another action that may have

 * unblocked the thread. An implementation should document this behavior.
