Yes, assumption correct. Sorry I missed to say that.

This sentence remainds me of the man page of ibv_get_cq_event:
-----
The following code example demonstrates one possible way to work with 
completion events. It performs the following steps:

Stage I: Preparation
1. Creates a CQ
2. Requests for notification upon a new (first) completion event

Stage II: Completion Handling Routine
3. Wait for the completion event and ack it
4. Request for notification upon the next completion event
5. Empty the CQ

Note that an extra event may be triggered without having a corresponding 
completion entry in the CQ. This occurs if a completion entry is added to 
the CQ between Step 4 and Step 5, and the CQ is then emptied (polled) in 
Step 5.
-----

Should I follow this procedure instead?:

While (1) {
arm_for_complition();
do {
    poll_cq();
    if (poll was succesful) {
        handle_items
    } while (poll returned 0 items);
wait_for_event();
}


I just noticed there is cl_waitobj_wait_on in cl_waitobj_osd.h.
Should I use it or is WaitForSingleObject ok?

I'm sorry, I don't know how to get that example.
Is that on SVN? I'm downloading TortoiseSVN now.
What is the complete address?
