Performs atomic waiting operations. Behaves as if it repeatedly performs the following steps:
- Compare the value representation of this->load(order) with that of
old.- If those are equal, then blocks until *this is notified by notify_one() or notify_all(), or the thread is unblocked spuriously.
- Otherwise, returns.
These functions are guaranteed to return only if value has changed, even if underlying implementation unblocks spuriously.

Parameters
| old | - | the value to check the |
| order | - | the memory synchronization ordering for this operation: must not be std::memory_order::release or std::memory_order::acq_rel |
Return value
(none)
Notes
This form of change-detection is often more efficient than simple polling or pure spinlocks.
Due to the ABA problem, transient changes from old to another value and back to old might be missed, and not unblock.
The comparison is bitwise (similar to std::memcmp); no comparison operator is used. Padding bits that never participate in an object's value representation are ignored.
