class Lock::ConditionVariable
(Lock::ConditionVariable) method wait
Defined as:
multi method wait( --> Nil )multi method wait( --> Nil )
Without any predicate, it waits on the condition variable itself; with a predicate, waits until the code returns a truish value.
my = 100;my ;my ;for ^
The condition we obtain from the $l
lock is awaited using a predicate, in this case, check if the counter is still zero. When it takes another value, the program flow continues in the next instruction.
