Abstract
A method of performing a wait operation includes creating a first plurality of tasks and a continuation task. The continuation task represents a second plurality of tasks. The continuation task and each of the tasks in the first plurality have an associated wait handle. The wait handles for the first plurality of tasks and the continuation task are stored in an array. A wait operation is performed on the array, thereby waiting for at least one of the tasks in the first and second pluralities to complete.
