WaitAll limited to 64?

[Guest]

Is there any way to increase the number of events the function System.Threading.ManualResetEvent.WaitAll can accept? It is currently 64. Thank you.

No. This is a design constraint of the Windows OS kernel. Each thread has
a block of wait handle pointers in its KTHREAD structure, and that block has
a finite length.
Why do you need more than that, in general it's an indication of bad
application design.

Hi,
You can use simple ref counting together with signalling on single event
when ref counter reaches 0.
