Detailed Description

An automatically reset event object to synchronize two threads.

Example:

    EventObject eventObject;
 
    Thread threadWaiting;
    auto   waitingFunc = [&](Thread& thread)
    {
        thread.setThreadName(SC_NATIVE_STR("Thread waiting"));
        eventObject.wait();
        report.console.printLine("After waiting");
    };
    SC_TEST_EXPECT(threadWaiting.start(waitingFunc));
 
    Thread threadSignaling;
    auto   signalingFunc = [&](Thread& thread)
    {
        thread.setThreadName(SC_NATIVE_STR("Signaling thread"));
        report.console.printLine("Signal");
        eventObject.signal();
    };
    SC_TEST_EXPECT(threadSignaling.start(signalingFunc));
    SC_TEST_EXPECT(threadWaiting.join());
    SC_TEST_EXPECT(threadSignaling.join());
    // Prints:
    // Signal
    // After waiting
