25 // OnSignalReceived() method will be executed on the signaller's thread when
26 // Signal() is called.  This may be used for sending an early Signal() to a
27 // WaitableEvent.  The registration of the handler is necessarily racy.  If
28 // Signal() is executes before TryRegisterHandler(), TryRegisterHandler() will
29 // not perform any registration and return false.  That function's caller must
30 // handle this case.
31 //
32 // This class supports only one handler, though it could easily support multiple
