Dear experts,
I am trying to understand a simple semaphore program written in C, and trying to insert some printf statements in the code , but there is no output at all.
#include<stdio. h>
#include<phtrea d.h>
#include<sys/ipc.h>
#include<sys/sem.h> -
int i, nb_place;
-
int semid;
-
struct sembuf operation;
-
-
void reservation()
-
{
-
/*prinff*/
-
/*operation p */
-
operation.sem_num = 0;
-
operation.sem_op = -1;
-
operation.sem_flg = 0;
-
semop(semid, &operation, 1);
-
nb_place = nb_place -1;
-
-
/*operation v */
-
operation.sem_num = 0;
-
operation.sem_op = 1;
-
operation.sem_flg = 0;
-
semop (semid, &operation, 1);
-
}
-
-
main()
-
{
-
/*prinf*/
-
pthread_t num_thread[3];
-
/*creation of a semaphore initialised to value 1 */
-
-
semid = semget(12,1,IPC_CREAT|IPC_EXCL|0600);
-
semctl(semid,0,SETVAL,1);
-
-
for(i=0; i<3; i++)
-
{
-
/*printf*/
-
pthread_create(&num_thread[i], NULL, (void *(*)())reservation, NULL);
-
pthread_join(num_thread, NULL);
-
-
semctl(semid,0,IPC_RMID,0);
-
}
-
}
-
In the previous when I locate a printf statement in the /*printf*/ nothing is displayed, why is this? and i would be grateful if you give a small explanation of what is supposed to be happening in this program.

I don't see any printf statements in your code.
/*printf*/ is a comment.
sorry for not being obvious, the printf statements are flags but they are not displayed when i execute the program. the following code is more obvious -
int i, nb_place;
-
int semid;
-
struct sembuf operation;
-
void reservation()
-
{
-
printf("FLAG1");
-
/*operation p */
-
operation.sem_num = 0;
-
operation.sem_op = -1;
-
operation.sem_flg = 0;
-
semop(semid, &operation, 1);
-
nb_place = nb_place -1;
-
/*operation v */
-
operation.sem_num = 0;
-
operation.sem_op = 1;
-
operation.sem_flg = 0;
-
semop (semid, &operation, 1);
-
}
-
-
main()
-
{
-
printf("FLAG 2");
-
pthread_t num_thread[3];
-
/*creation of a semaphore initialised to value 1 */
-
semid = semget(12,1,IPC_CREAT|IPC_EXCL|0600);
-
semctl(semid,0,SETVAL,1);
-
for(i=0; i<3; i++)
-
{
-
printf("FLAG 3");
-
pthread_create(&num_thread[i], NULL, (void *(*)())reservation, NULL);
-
pthread_join(num_thread, NULL);
-
semctl(semid,0,IPC_RMID,0);
-
}
-
}

Just to be sure print a newline character at the end of your output strings; stdout may be line buffered so nothing will show up for a while. Do this instead: printf("FLAG 1\n");
kind regards,
Jos
Thank you JosAH very much
> so nothing will show up for a while
well, actually nothing is showed up always. the newline character works fine.
I have a question about the semget function, I want to understand it better, isn't there any SIMPLE tutorials for that?
semid = semget(12,1,IPC _CREAT|IPC_EXCL |0600);
Aha
I will try this one, thank you very much

I´m wondering why there are so few examples with Semaphore.
Is it obsolete?

It offers 2 Threads methods for updating, editing, .. a private

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.

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.

Hi
I'm getting a problem while removing semaphore from system.
Before removing semaphore I'm checking the usage count of a smaphore.
// checking usage count
usage_count = semctl(sem_ptr->semid, 1, GETVAL, NULL);
if( usage_count 1 )
// return don't remove semaphore

Greetings.
After first noticing a malfunction in my application, I ran some tests which have given me the following insights on the code performance:
-The " infinite" loop which waits on the semaphore first thing in every iteration, may succeed in going through several iterations.
-The number of successful iterations may differ with every execution, as well as with timing differences caused by the different placement of breakpoints. ...

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

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