8799,named condition notify_all does not wake up waiting process,peter.knafl@…,Ion Gaztañaga,"The underlying snippet never catches the notify_all() signal. Operating System used is Linux 3.5.0-17-generic.

Can anybody confirm this as a bug or am I doing something wrong?

=== Code snippet ===
{{{

        signal_empty.wait(lock);

    named_mutex mtx(open_only, ""somemutex"");
    named_condition signal_empty (open_only, ""signal_empty"");

    for(;;)
    {
        cout << ""Parent tries to get lock"" << endl;
        scoped_lock<named_mutex>lock(mtx);
        cout << ""Parent got lock and notifies"" << endl;
        sleep(1);
        cout << ""Parent notifies child"" << endl;
        signal_empty.notify_all();
    }
}

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    pid_t pid = fork();

    if(pid == 0)
    {
        consumer(NULL);
    }
    else
    {
        producer(NULL);
    }
}

=== Application output ===
{{{

Started child
Child tries to lock
Child got lock and waits
Parent tries to get lock
Parent got lock and notifies
Parent notifies child

Parent got lock and notifies
