C++ equivalent of C# SpinWait.SpinUntil

Question

I am in the need of spinning a thread until a specific condition appears.

In c# I had good experience with SpinWait .

However being somewhat new to C++ I am unsure what the equivalent to this would be:

    SpinWait.SpinUntil(() => myCondition == true);

I tried sleeping, yielding and looping without any but I cannot get the same performance in my C++ application that I had with c# SpinWait.

I am using VS 2017 and the VC++ compiler.

Using synchronization objects like events is what you are looking for. Just attach yourself to an event and setevent from where you are want to back again.
