Something I'm currently coding in LibQ (*shock and awe*) is the capacity for timeouts in waits on a condition variable, a feature that was left out of LibQ originally, because of an insurmountable race condition which would be created by the way LibQ emulated condition variables on Windows. This challenge is very succinct: how is it possible to create a fast (remember the definition of fast, with regard to synchronization objects) condition variable that supports timeout, and what constraint(s) would exist on the semantics of this condition variable? Ready, set, go!
Oh, one more thing: if you find that challenge too easy, you can try to do it without the use of atomic operations (the way LibQ does it).
