Hello,
Here is my challenge.
I have a thread awaiting events being sent via Queue. Currently I am
checking the count and if there is a count, Dequeue() the next object
and process it. By design, however, this is inefficient usage of CPU
clocks.
A more efficient usage could be to wrap Monitor::Wait() and
Monitor::Pulse( ) events. If Monitor operations like I think it does, I
should be able to Wait() efficiently forever for the next event to
arrive and before I Dequeue() it. And use Pulse() to signal when a
next event has been Enqueue()d.
Does Wait() wait efficiently for the next pulse to arrive?
Are pulses queued cumulatively?
Or is there only one state (pulsed or not)?
(Not insurmountable if this cannot happen.)
Best regards,
Michael Powell

Yes.

No.

Yes. The states are more like owned & unowned but the implication is (I
think) what you're looking for: Monitor::Pulse will wake a single waiting
thread a single time.
(Not insurmountable if this cannot happen.)
The docs in MSDN on Montor::Wait, Pulse, PulseAll are pretty thorough - be
sure to start by reading and understanding all of those.

I am developing a GUI that uses multiple threading.Threads, and Queue.Queues
for communicating between the threads, and threading.Timers for checking the
queues.
Everything works well (runs to completion and exits) on my RedHat7.3 machine,
but it doesn't work (hangs like some thread or queue is blocking)on RH9.
However, when I ssh into the RH9 box from my RH7.3 box, the app runs fine(on
my RH7.3 screen).

Hello all,
I need your wisdom again. I'm working on a multi-threaded application
that handles multiple data sources in small batches each time. The idea
is that there are 3 threads that run simultaneously, each read a fixed
number of records, and then they wait for eachother. After that the main
thread does some processing, and the threads are allowed to continue
reading data.
I summarized this part of the application in the attached...

I want to implement a simple console that continuously listens for an

If I subscribe to the events in a windows app it works fine. Any

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.
