Hi,
I'm trying to compile an example semaphore .c file taken straight from the
internet, but it won't compile with the error;
gcc seminit.c -o seminit
seminit.c: In function `main':
seminit.c:16: error: storage size of 'arg' isn't known
Does anyone know how to correct this error.??
for reference the code is located at http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~beej/guide/ipc/seminit.c
Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Matt 2 6566

There is no definition of the type 'enum semun', so it is an
incomplete type and you cannot define objects of an incomplete type.
This is not a standard C type, so presumably it is defined in one of
the three non-standard headers (the ones beginning with "sys/"), at
least on the implementation of the person who wrote the code.
That platform and implementation might or might be the same as yours,
and it might or might not have this type defined in one of those
headers. In any case, you need to take this to a group that supports
your compiler/operating system combination, because it is an extension
and not a type defined by the C language.

Please post a small compilable program demonstrating your problem rather
than a URL.
Unfortunately,
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/sem.h>
make your example code non-standard and implementation-specific, so
off-topic here. Further, the calls of exit with an argument of 1 make
your code non-portable; the only values with standard meanings are 0,
EXIT_SUCCESS, and EXIT_FAILURE.
Your error message comes from this line:
union semun arg;
The meaning of "union semun" is expected by your code to be provided in
one of those non-standard header files. Apparently your versions of
these does not do so. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Dear community,
having written a working example for using Semphores on a windows
client, I created a little "server-application" that does the following:
A Server continously "listens/tails" a command-file for new commands.
If a new commands arrives a split of the workload to threads is under-
taken that "control themselves" via Semaphore and are joined finally.
It works.

Hello all,
I m facing an interesting problem related to semaphore in php.
We are using a huge business application running on LAMP. For database
operations we are maintaining centralized DB manager classes in php
which perform all the single table related activity. Before inserting
new record we are acquiring semaphore on specific key (all the tables
are having seprate sem keys), insert the record and release the
semaphore.

We have a custom application used by a customer on DB2 8.1.5 AIX 5.1,
we have tested it with 8.1.0 AIX 5.1 and everything works fine. But
with 8.1.5 we get the above error. The other applications connecting
to other instances of the database works fine.

Hello all,
I m facing a memory related problem with semaphores. Our business
application uses semaphores extensively and the limit imposed by the OS
on the number of semaphores that can exist on the system is only 128.
This could be increased to a higher value but that would not be a
permanant solution to my belief. We are using the sem_get, sem_acquire
php functions. After the use we are releasing the semaphore by using
sem_release.

I'm having trouble creating a Semaphore with read-access rights for
everyone. Originally I was trying to use this code:
semaphore = new Semaphore(maxLocks, maxLocks, "RwLock#" + name);
but when using that code to create a Semaphore instance for an
existing system semaphore (i.e., the second time the code gets hit), I
get an UnauthorizedAccessException. So I tried specifying that
everyone has read rights:

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:
