//! Notify async tasks or threads.
//!
//! This is a synchronization primitive similar to [eventcounts] invented by Dmitry Vyukov.
//!
//! You can use this crate to turn non-blocking data structures into async or blocking data
//! structures. See a [simple mutex] implementation that exposes an async and a blocking interface
//! for acquiring locks.
//!
//! [eventcounts]: http://www.1024cores.net/home/lock-free-algorithms/eventcounts
//! [simple mutex]: https://github.com/smol-rs/event-listener/blob/master/examples/mutex.rs
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! Wait until another thread sets a boolean flag:
//!
//! ```
//! use std::sync::atomic::{AtomicBool, Ordering};
//! use std::sync::Arc;
//! use std::thread;
//! use std::time::Duration;
//! use std::usize;
//! use event_listener::Event;
//!
//! let flag = Arc::new(AtomicBool::new(false));
//! let event = Arc::new(Event::new());
//!
//! // Spawn a thread that will set the flag after 1 second.
//! thread::spawn({
//!     let flag = flag.clone();
//!     let event = event.clone();
//!     move || {
//!         // Wait for a second.
//!         thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1));
//!
//!         // Set the flag.
//!         flag.store(true, Ordering::SeqCst);
//!
//!         // Notify all listeners that the flag has been set.
//!         event.notify(usize::MAX);
//!     }
//! });
//!
//! // Wait until the flag is set.
//! loop {
//!     // Check the flag.
//!     if flag.load(Ordering::SeqCst) {
//!         break;
//!     }
//!
//!     // Start listening for events.
//!     let listener = event.listen();
//!
//!     // Check the flag again after creating the listener.
//!     if flag.load(Ordering::SeqCst) {
//!         break;
//!     }
//!
//!     // Wait for a notification and continue the loop.
//!     listener.wait();
