std::condition_variable_any::notify_all(3)

NAME
std::condition_variable_any::notify_all - std::condition_variable_any::notify_all

Synopsis
   void notify_all() noexcept; (since C++11)
   Unblocks all threads currently waiting for *this.

Parameters
   (none)

Return value
   (none)

Notes
   The effects of notify_one()/notify_all() and each of the three atomic parts of
   wait()/wait_for()/wait_until() (unlock+wait, wakeup, and lock) take place in a
   single total order that can be viewed as modification order of an atomic variable:
   the order is specific to this individual condition variable. This makes it
   impossible for notify_one() to, for example, be delayed and unblock a thread that
   started waiting just after the call to notify_one() was made.
   The notifying thread does not need to hold the lock on the same mutex as the one
   held by the waiting thread(s). Doing so may be a pessimization, since the notified
   thread would immediately block again, waiting for the notifying thread to release
   the lock, though some implementations recognize the pattern and do not attempt to
   wake up the thread that is notified under lock.

Example
// Run this code
 #include <chrono>
 #include <condition_variable>
 #include <iostream>
 #include <thread>
 std::condition_variable_any cv;
 std::mutex cv_m; // This mutex is used for three purposes:
                  // 1) to synchronize accesses to i
                  // 2) to synchronize accesses to std::cerr
                  // 3) for the condition variable cv
 int i = 0;
 void waits()
 {
     std::unique_lock<std::mutex> lk(cv_m);
     std::cerr << "Waiting... \n";
     cv.wait(lk, []{ return i == 1; });
     std::cerr << "...finished waiting. i == 1\n";
 }
 void signals()
 {
     std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(1));
     {
         std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lk(cv_m);
         std::cerr << "Notifying...\n";
     }
     cv.notify_all();
     std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(1));
     {
         std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lk(cv_m);
         i = 1;
         std::cerr << "Notifying again...\n";
     }
     cv.notify_all();
 }
 int main()
 {
     std::thread t1(waits), t2(waits), t3(waits), t4(signals);
     t1.join();
     t2.join();
     t3.join();
     t4.join();
 }

Possible output:
 Waiting...
 Waiting...
 Waiting...
 Notifying...
 Notifying again...
 ...finished waiting. i == 1
 ...finished waiting. i == 1
 ...finished waiting. i == 1
