perror says function not implemented ... on a sun, i get perror : Invalid

check line 86 of your code
another question : what's the max number of semaphores a process can

exactly 300

just in case you didnt catch the carcasm, this has nothing to do with the c
language in its standard form, which is what people come here for. It would
be besto to take your question to a newsgroup for your machine and/or
compiler.

You problem at the moment is that you are posting to the wrong
newsgroup. From the looks of your code, I'd say comp.unix.progr ammer was
appropriate.

Hi, I have some code, to which I added usage of posix semaphores. I am working on a solaris platform. After doing that, my process becomes unkillable, that is it will not terminate if sent a SIGTERM signal. I am not ignoring that signal. Just adding this code related to semaphores seems to be causing this problem. None of my threads is sleeping indefinitely on any semaphore wait. Any help will be appreciated. If this is not the...

Hi; In a research project, I want to use shared memory with semaphores. First I have to create an environment for interprocess messaging. I'm thinking of having a main process which creates a big shared memory and manage all messages which are sent by objects inside the environment. Is this method effective for a high loaded messaging area? I heard about using ports can cause loss of data. And, is it ok to have a main process which will...

Hello, I would like to know if posix semaphores are inter processes or just semaphores for threads inside the same process. I have not seen it defined in the posix specification I have found, but I have maybe missed something. Thanks in advance.

I have a C# application and a VB6 application that need to share a dialup connection to the internet. Don't ask why, this is one of those corporate "do or die" things. The only way I can see to do this is by using the combination of a MUTEX to create a Cross-application Singleton for the Dialing operation and a Named Semphore that can keep a count of how many processes are currently sharing the connection from the client's workstation...

Hi, I am using Perl ithreads. The threads I create shall access a shared hash. In order to control access to the hash, I would like to use a semaphore. (BTW, does the hash need the protection at all if I can make sure that all threads use different keys?) Semaphores in Perl are provided by the (obsolete?) "Thread" module, which has been replaced by the "threads" module in recent versions. But in the latter, there are only locks, no...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
