CondBroadcast
Restarts all threads `CondWait`ing for the handle
Syntax
`
Declare Sub CondBroadcast ( ByVal handle As Any Ptr )
`
Usage
`
CondBroadcast ( handle )
`
Parameters
`handle`
The handle of a conditional variable, or the null pointer (0) on failure.
Description
Once the conditional is `CondCreate` and the threads are started, one of more of them (including the main thread executing main program) can be set to `CondWait` for the conditional, they will be stopped until some other thread `CondSignal`s that the waiting thread can restart. `CondBroadcast` can be used to restart all threads waiting for the conditional. At the end of the program `CondDestroy` must be used to avoid leaking resources in the OS.
Condbroadcast must be used instead of `CondSignal` to restart all threads waiting on the conditional.
Example
See `CondCreate`
Platform Differences

- Condbroadcast is not available with the DOS version / target of FreeBASIC, because multithreading is not supported by DOS kernel nor the used extender.
- In Linux the threads are always started in the order they are created, this can't be assumed in Win32. It's an OS, not a FreeBASIC issue.

Dialect Differences

- Threading is not allowed in -lang qb

Differences from QB

- New to FreeBASIC
