Folks, I have posted this message on a different newsgroup but I did not get
a single response. I take it that it must not have been the right forum.
Anyways.
I am seeking the solution to the classic ReadersWritesLo ck with a slight
twist in My unmanaged C++. I can not import "System" and "System.Threadi ng"
namespaces.
I need to use some kind of lock (semaphore, Mutex, or any other
alternative), among threads to alow multiple threads to use the shared
resource.
The threads will have either the "Reader" role or the "Writer" role.
As long as a the thread is a "Reader", and no "Writer" thread is holding
the lock or
waiting on the lock the Reader thread can proceed.
Multiple "Readers" can access the resource while there is no Writer.
Once a Writer enters the queue for the Wirte access, no new Reader will be
allowed to get the lock and it will encounter a timeout reject return value.
However, every previously entered Reader is allowed to complete its
operations until all releases its lock.
When no more Reader is pending, the Writer starts its
operation at the end of which it and then releases the lock. At this time
new Readers will be successfull in aquiring the lock.
When the first Writer thread is pending or working, all subsequent Readers
and/or Writer threads shall get the timeout rejection.
I have looked into documents for Semaphore, Mutext and "Wait Operations" but
I am not sure the semaphore's count-down can help me implementing the
algorithm.
Any Ideas and suggestions is greatly appreciated.

I found this while googling with <reader-writer c++ synchronization >: http://www.frostbytes.com/~jimf/pape...c/c++sync.html
Maybe "Fair-Share Readers/Writer Class" is what you need.
Thanks Mihajlo.
I will look in the articles. They appear to be informative.

I've been adapting an older unmanaged C++ legacy app to C#---with limited
success. The original app made use of an older, but straightforward, C
DLL that worked efficiently under the VC++ 6 model.
To adapt to C#, I've wrapped the older DLL calls in an unmanaged C++
class which pretty much just parallels the original function calls and
encapsulates the more ragged aspects (handles, etc).
Then in turn, I wrapped the unmanaged C++ class...

Hi,
I have made a service with C# and calling that service class from another C#
program with remoting.
(Referendes from the calling program)
That service class is configured so that garpage collection is not used in
this class.
(singleton class + override InitializeLifetimeService )
The service class uses C++ unmanaged function from dll (using DLLimport).

Hi, I'm writing a research simulation program and would like to write it in

If, unmanaged code is faster, than what would I have to do to switch

Hello,
My question is how to use C# to call the existing libraries containing
unmanaged C++ classes directly, but not use C# or managed C++ wrappers
unmanaged C++ classes?
Does anyone know how to do that?
Thanks.

I have an older MFC C++ app with some new Managed C++ being thrown in. Recently I turned on the /clr flag for one of my old .cpp files. I then placed '#pragma unmanaged' just below my #include statements near the top of the file. These headers contain older unmanaged class declarations.
When running I discovered a new bug, a crash, at a point in execution that was nowhere near any code that's been touched in quite a while. After hunting down...

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:

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,...
