monitors in C?

[Andreas Røsdal]

Hi,

I'm used to enforcing mutual exclusion (with monitors)
in Java. Any pointers as to how to implement this in C on Linux?
ie. I want to protect a shared object from access to more than one thread
at a time.

There are no facilities for this in ISO Standard C. You need
platform-specific extensions. I would suggest a Linux or perhaps
comp.unix.programmer.

Sounds like you want to use mutexes. This is not properly a C question but
a linux one, since C doesn't have native support for threads.
