WaitForMultipleObjects in C Extension

 Hi guys I need your experiences. I made an Extension in C. When I stop the query on PostgreSQL,I want to control my extension's result with use cases in C.So I think , I should use WaitForMultipleObjects. Is there a like a SignalObjectHandle() ? By the way I'm using Windows.

Thanks...

Are you using threading in your extension?  This is something to avoid
except in very specific cases, particularly using native calls.

Not really understanding this.

Not exactly.  Windows does has some signaling objects like Unix/Linux,
but they exist only in the filesystem and network stack, and they are
signaled only by events within those subsystems.  IOW, they can't be
signaled manually.

For general communication/synchronization purposes Windows uses an
event based notification system.  See:
