Hi,

I have some existing code with a condition variable at file scope.
After every mutex lock and unlock, pthread_cond_signal is called. Does
this make sense if noone is waiting on the condition variable ? 
I can''t find pthread_cond_wait or pthread_cond_timedwait in this
code. Can I remove the condition variable with a clear consience  ?

Thanks,
Frank
