This depends on the task. In fact, Windows is missing such thing as
barrier ("meeting point") as a synchronization primitive. Mutexes and
events are not the best for this. Variables of the kind that I described
are more suitable and in such scenario (when two processes should meet
at some point of execution and then both continue). So under certain
circumstances yes, I would recommend them. But, as mentioned, my
question was about one statement about "aren't really meant". It's too
fuzzy and can be a bit misleading so I needed to clarify the meaning of it.

I meant the source that describes the meaning of words. Webster's
dictionary is of course not encyclopedia, but I couldn't remember any
online encyclopedia.
