Condition variable
A condition variable is an object able to block the calling thread until notified to resume.It uses a unique_lock (over a mutex) to lock the thread when one of its wait functions is called. The thread remains blocked until woken up by another thread that calls a notification function on the same condition_variable object.
Objects of type condition_variable always use unique_lock<mutex>
to wait: for an alternative that works with any kind of lockable type, see condition_variable_any
