ACE_Condition使用

       不知道ACE怎么才能学好，感觉好复杂好抽象,，也不懂设计模式。。

       ACE_Condition是针对OS条件变量原语的包装类。条件变量不是被用作互斥原语，而是用作特定条件已经满足的指示器。

       ACE_Condition<ACE_Thread_Mutex> cond(ACE_Thread_Mutex);

       需要特别注意的是，在阻塞在wait调用中之前，条件变量机制（ACE_Cond）负责释放全局资源的互斥体（使用ACE_Thread::join()调用可以使主线程等待其他的线程结束，条件变量也可以实现）。

       条件变量不是用于互斥，而是用于我们所描述的发送信号功能。（除了ACE_Condition类，ACE还包括ACE_Condition_Thread_Mutex类，它使用ACE_Thread_Mutex作为全局资源的底层锁定机制），比如将下面work线程中的锁（acquire，release）机制去掉，就会打印出多个线程都认为自己是最后一个线程。如果信号signal去掉，wait就会一直阻塞下去。网上部分人理解是错的，ACE明确指出条件变量不是用于互斥。
