Noncompliant Code Example (cnd_signal())

This noncompliant code example consists of a given number of threads (5) that should example uses five threads that are intended to execute one after another according to the step level assigned to each thread when it is created (serialized processing). The current_step variable holds the current step level and is incremented as soon as incremented when the respective thread finishes its processingcompletes. Finally, another thread is signaled so that the next step can be executed. Each thread waits until its step level is ready, and the cnd_wait() function call is wrapped inside a while loop, in compliance with CON44-C. Wrap functions that can fail spuriously in a loop.
