There is no point in doing a timed wait here - there's no work
that we can do if the wait timed out, and sleeping for 1 ms
inbetween doesn't help, it only adds potential extra latency
to reacting to threads that need more work to do.
Typedeffing WELS_EVENT as sem_t* makes the typedef behave similarly
to the windows version (typedeffed as HANDLE), unifying the code
that allocates and uses these event objects (getting rid of
most of the need for separate codepaths and ifdefs).
The caller of the function should not need to know exactly which
implementation of it is being used.
For the variants that don't support detecting the number of cores,
the pNumberOfLogicProcessors parameter can be left untouched
and the caller will use a higher level API for finding it out.
This simplifies all the calling code, and simplifies adding
more implementations of cpu feature detection.
The two different variants of the threadlib basically are
win32 and unix - use _WIN32 to check for this consistently,
instead of occasionally using __GNUC__ to enable the unix
codepath. (__GNUC__ is also defined on mingw, which still is
a windows platform and should use the _WIN32 code.)
On processors without HTT, WelsCPUFeatureDetect can't return
a number of cores but might still return a nonzero set of
CPU feature flags. Previously the nonzero cpu feature flag
indicated that cpuid worked and the encoder wouldn't use the
higher level API for getting the number of cores, even though the
number of cores was left at 1.
TRUE/FALSE has intentionally been left in use for the few
platform specific APIs that define these constants themselves
and expect them to be used, for consistency.
As long as WelsFileHandle* is equal to FILE* this doesn't matter,
but for consistency use the WelsF* functions for all handles
opened by WelsFopen, and use WelsFileHandle* as type for it
instead of FILE*.
astyle was only run on .cpp files this time - already in
ff6b66917 where the style cleanup was done initially, not all
.h files seem to have gotten the same styling (rerunning astyle
on .h files at that commit produces a huge diff).
