Call me stupid,
If you insist :)
but I was under the impression that this has been fixed
by inserting the "IsSet" member in the IntRTLEvent structure (this fix
also made RTLEventStartWait disappear for exactly that reason).
There are two different event families: intrtlevent and
basicrtlevent. I have no idea what the history behind the two
different taxonomies is, nor what their supposed functional
differences are. basicrtlevent was implemented from the start using
semaphores, intrtlevent using conditional variables. syncobjs uses
basicrtlevent.
It's indeed possible that by now due to all of the fixes everywhere,
they both provide exactly the same functionality, but I would have to
check (also the Windows implementation, to see whether there are any
differences over there).
