* latch.c
* Routines for inter-process latches
*
- * The Unix implementation uses the so-called self-pipe trick to overcome
- * the race condition involved with select() and setting a global flag
- * in the signal handler. When a latch is set and the current process
- * is waiting for it, the signal handler wakes up the select() in
- * WaitLatch by writing a byte to a pipe. A signal by itself doesn't
- * interrupt select() on all platforms, and even on platforms where it
- * does, a signal that arrives just before the select() call does not
- * prevent the select() from entering sleep. An incoming byte on a pipe
- * however reliably interrupts the sleep, and causes select() to return
- * immediately even if the signal arrives before select() begins.

- * (Actually, we prefer epoll_wait() over poll() over select() where
- * available, but the same comments apply.)

* process, SIGUSR1 is sent and the signal handler in the waiting process
* writes the byte to the pipe on behalf of the signaling process.
