Yes, it seems that you're missing something.
http://www.boost.org/libs/thread/example/condition.cpp
But note that you don't really need to own the mutex ["predictable
scheduling" aside] while signaling. Also, certain optimizations are
possible for single-consumer and/or single-producer vs. the classic
bounded buffer with multiple consumers/producers. Yeah, and you'll
NEVER beat Ada's "proxy model"-monitors ("protected objects"). ;-)
