thread waiting for events

Hi

In an client/server application made of singletons, the server can send
unix commands which must be executed on the clients, then the clients
return the outputs to the server. On the client, I have a threaded
singleton actionsManager( ) which manages thoses actions (unix command).
Those actions are also threaded with a timeout.
I don't know a good way for the actionsManager( ) to wait for theses
commands. I could use a while(1) loop for that but it is not really
good. Is there a better way to that ?

Cheers

Karim

This is not a C++ question. This is a unix/posix question. Things like
select, poll, kpoll, epoll (the last 2 being BSD/Solaris and Linux
specific) come to mind. Then again, signals, pipes, msg queues and or
semaphores might be better for you. You'll need to be very specific
when you post your question to the right newsgroup.

I'm trying to write a piece of C code that has two threads: The first thread waits for a socket connection. The second thread is in a continues cycle waiting for an period of time (lets say 500 ms) or an incomming socket connection (received from the first thread). At this moment I've created two threads were the first one is already waiting for an incomming socket connection. I've also created a timer with timer_create. My problem is that...

Hi I'm having some weird threading issues.. almost at random, if I dare change a line of my code, the shutdown sequence gets messed up.

So, I override OnClosing(CancelEventArgs e) in my main GUI program, and have it perform the following on the thread: if...

Hi, Was wondering if its possible to have a event notification in Thread when the thread is about to start and the thread has just finished doing its work and about to terminate. If its not directly available, I was thinking to derive a class form Thread and provide this events, but again its a sealed class. Is there a way to do this? I do not want to waste time pooling or waiting for the other thread to finish I can rather so someting...

Hi there My work on threads continues with more or less success. Here is what I'm trying to do: Class JobAgent is incharged for some tasks and when it's called it starts thread which performs the job. Application contains one list of agents that are idle at the moment and list of busy agents. In loop it checks if there are agents in idle list and if there are some, it starts them.

Hi, I have two threads, one parent thread containing UI and a child thread waiting for some events from the parent thread. Now, I have two issues: 1) to keep the child thread active till the end of parent thread. 2) Fire event from the parent thread to child thread. To keep the child thread active, i tried different means including while(1){ application.DoEvents()} but seems that it is not working. I am unable to make it work.

Hello. First post, but been doing a bit of reading here. I am working on a project in Java, but decided to switch over to C# after seeing some of the additional features I can get from C#. One of the big changes I want to make is event-driven code (rather than the linear flow I had in Java). I have spent a week or so searching Google, talking to a couple of programming friends, and just chewing on it in my brain. I think I have an ok handle...

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,...
