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.

Not this one, that's for sure. Try searching through http://groups.google.com.

So, you are juste speaking about forums that you don't even know if they
exist ?
Hum... do you have any valuable information ?
Or you are just one of theese wanabee cop that is trying to get some ego

Btw I don't really understand why the C forum is not a place to discuss
about the C normalized libraries.

I don't know what you mean by "C normalized libraries", but the C
standard does not support semaphores, threads, or processes. POSIX is
a separate standard.
Not everyone here can be expected to know about all the other
newsgroups where a question might be topical.
When we tell people that certain things are off-topic here, it's not
because we're "wanabee cops". It's because standard C is the area we
know about, and there are other newsgroups for more system-specific
topics where you're more likely to get good answers (and those answers
are more likely to be checked for accuracy by other experts).
P.S. THere is no posix dedicated group, I checked before posting here.
Alexei suggested a "posix/unix-related group". I see at least 56
newsgroups with "unix" in their names. Of them, comp.unix.progr ammer
is probably the best for your purposes. comp.programmin g.threads is
another good possibility. You should browse the archives of both
groups, and read their FAQs if you can find them, before posting.

He probably know that they exist but he might not know the names of them.

That this is the wrong group is valuable information. He also suggested
unix groups which you obviously had not thought of looking for so that
was also valuable information which you have chosen to ignore.

No, he is trying to keep the group useful by keeping it topical.

They are not C libraries, they are POSIX libraries.

There are, however, plenty of Unix groups, both generic ones such as
comp.unix.progr ammer and ones dedicated to specific Unix variants. There
is also comp.programmin g which would probably have been a better place
to start given that you could not find the correct group.

Hi group!!
Well i would like to just say that don't just stop replying if the
answer is known by somebody in the group.
As far as i know the POSIX and MUTEX threads are related to the
processes in the unix environment.Sep arate programs are written to
handle them.
Semaphores are just like FLAGS in the processes.They help to indicate
the switching of processes. http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817...jum5sg7?a=view
they say it is interprocess This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

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...

Hi there,
I am using a POSIX-compliant system, Cygwin on Windows.
I need the features of conio.h's getch() and clrscr(), but I can't
compile programs with #include <conio.h(since conio.h is NOT POSIX).
I tried to implement myself clrscr() with system("cls"), but the program
compiles ok, but during the running it will show:

Firstly please excuse the long ramblingness. I need some conceptual help, I am trying to make two programs that are exactly the same but take it in turns to execute something, so the output looks something like the following:

proc 1 doing first thing

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
