Hi,
I vaguely remember reading about a quite low limit on the number of event objects that a thread can hold because each one is said to take up one bit in some 32 or 64 bit mask.
You should probably clarify what you mean, since it is not possible and does not make sense for a thread to "hold" an event object.
Event objects might be waited on, I suppose, in which case waiting on them using WaitForMultipleObjects would be limited by the number of objects that you can pass to WaitForMultipleObjects (i.e., up to 64 objects), but this doesn't have anything to do with bitmasks, nor should it be the same as "holding".
Is there such a low limit on the number of events (or other types of handles) than one thread can hold in native or in Wine?
Would depend on what you mean by "hold", but probably not.
