// EventCount allows to wait for arbitrary predicates in non-blocking
// algorithms. Think of condition variable, but wait predicate does not need to
// be protected by a mutex. Usage:
// Waiting thread does:
//
//   if (predicate)
//     return act();
//   EventCount::Waiter& w = waiters[my_index];
//   ec.Prewait(&w);
//   if (predicate) {
//     ec.CancelWait(&w);
//     return act();
//   }
//   ec.CommitWait(&w);
//
// Notifying thread does:
//
//   predicate = true;
//   ec.Notify(true);
//
// Notify is cheap if there are no waiting threads. Prewait/CommitWait are not
// cheap, but they are executed only if the preceding predicate check has
// failed.
//
// Algorithm outline:
// There are two main variables: predicate (managed by user) and state_.
// Operation closely resembles Dekker mutual algorithm:
// https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dekker%27s_algorithm
// Waiting thread sets state_ then checks predicate, Notifying thread sets
// predicate then checks state_. Due to seq_cst fences in between these
// operations it is guaranteed than either waiter will see predicate change
// and won't block, or notifying thread will see state_ change and will unblock
// the waiter, or both. But it can't happen that both threads don't see each
// other changes, which would lead to deadlock.
