Hi,
How is pthread condition variables implemented on linux. Specifically I want
to know how pthread_cond_signal() wakes the waiting thread. Does it send any
specific signal to the waiting thread or is there any other means??
Thx in advance.

Using futexes (wait queues); http://people.redhat.com/drepper/futex.pdf.
