Increasing MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS for WaitforMultipleObjects

Question

What is the simplest way to wait for more objects than MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS? MSDN lists this:

• Create a thread to wait on MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJEC

Answer 1

If you find yourself waiting on tons of objects you might want to look into IO Completion Ports instead. For large numbers of parallel operations IOCP is much more efficient.

And the name IOCP is misleading, you can easily use IOCP for your own synchronization structures as well.
