The MsgWaitForMultipleObjects function allows you to wait for multiple objects to be ready before proceeding with an operation.
It takes a pointer to the object and an integer representing the timeout. The function waits until the specified object is ready.
Here's a simple example:
MsgWaitForMultipleObjects(pointer, timeout) {
// Wait for the specified timeout.
return new Promise((resolve) => {
setTimeout(() => {
resolve();
}, timeout);
});
}
This example just returns a promise to simulate the waiting.
Let's say we have a 'Message' object that needs to be processed after a certain delay. We'll use MsgWaitForMultipleObjects to wait for it.
const message = new Message();
const waitTime = 2000;
const result = MsgWaitForMultipleObjects(message, waitTime);
console.log(result);
The `result` variable will be `true` if the message is ready and `false` otherwise.
This function is crucial for asynchronous operations where you need to synchronize multiple steps. Always handle the promise returned by the function to ensure proper error handling.
Consider using a timeout to gracefully handle the case where the object is not ready.
