Ok, I see I have mixed things here. Bad example from me.
As you can see from my OP I am actually blocking on a wait
to a condvar.

My question can be rephrased as:
When I am waiting on a particular condvar, how can I portably
wake up the thread to notify it from some global state change?

I am almost sure that wait will not EINTR on windows platform,
so I think this is not a portable solution.
