SleepEx problem

[NewToCPP]

SleepEx suspends the current thread until the specified condition is
met. I expected the execution to resume when occurs the timeout happens
in my following example.

At the expiry of the timer it is calling "lpFnToCompletionRoutine" as
expected, but it is not printing Count in the while loop. Can anyone
explain why?




static void APIENTRY lpFnToCompletionRoutine (LPVOID lpCount,
DWORD dwTimerLowValue,
DWORD dwTimerHighValue)
{
*(LPWORD) lpCount = *(LPWORD) lpCount + 1;

}

void OmciAdapter::adapterMain()
{

/* STEPS to DO: */

//1. set the timer for every 100 milli secs to check for any OMCI
timeouts

HANDLE hTimer;
LARGE_INTEGER DueTime;
DWORD Count = 0;
const int unitsPerSecond=10*1000*1000; // 100 nano seconds


DueTime.QuadPart = -(10000 * 10000);
hTimer = CreateWaitableTimer(NULL, FALSE, "WaitableTimer");

if (NULL == hTimer)
{
printf("CreateWaitableTimer failed (%d)\n", GetLastError());
return;
}

printf("Waiting for 10 seconds...\n");

// Set a timer to wait for 10 seconds.
if (!SetWaitableTimer(hTimer, &DueTime, 10000,
lpFnToCompletionRoutine, &Count, FALSE))
{
printf("SetWaitableTimer failed (%d)\n", GetLastError());
return;
}

while (1)
{
printf ("Count = %d \n", Count);


SleepEx(INFINITE, TRUE);
}

Somebody in the newsgroup that deals with those functions and their
semantics should be able to. I can only speculate that your timers
are not running in a separate thread, and as such are probably just
as well suspended by your SleepEx. But your question is OS-specific
and as such is off-topic here. The list of suggested newsgroups is
in the FAQ.
