If waiting for multiple handles is the issue (why?)
A couple of reasons: ferrying a variable-size handle list from the server to the client feels awkward and waiting on the multiple handles can be tricky [does this work? https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/7797/diffs?commit_id=40...]. Those have been mentioned in https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/7797#note_102534 and https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/7797#note_101439
Note also that it is not needed to do NtWaitForMultipleObjects for
multiple handles (which maybe can be unfortunate in the view of nsync, and anyway there is a limit on the number of handles there). It is possible to wait for single object one after another. I suggest you look at the previous version of this MR, it was probably much closer to what you expect. Let me know if you think I should go back to the old way altogether.
Actually I could push a rebased version of the old version here and open a new MR for this new approach. It should allow for easier comparison between the two, which could be useful?
