Description

The function simple-lock-and-condition-variable-wait is a variant of lock-and-condition-variable-wait that does not take keyword arguments. Also it takes the arguments of the predicate as &rest. It interprets and acts on the arguments just like lock-and-condition-variable-wait.

simple-lock-and-condition-variable-wait returns the result of calling predicate or the wait, like lock-and-condition-variable-wait when return-function is not supplied.

Notes

simple-lock-and-condition-variable-wait does not take wait reason arguments, so you should give names to the lock lock and the condition-variable condvar for debugging (by passing name in make-lock and make-condition-variable).
