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.
The problem is that the semaphore will remain on the system until it is
rebooted. And once the limit of 128 semaphores is reached, any attemt
to create a new semaphore will result in a "No space left on device"
error.
Can anybody help with any solutions in this regard.
Thanks

sem_remove will cause trouble if there are other processes blocking on
the semaphore. This has already been tried.
Is there any way to remove a semaphore only if there are no processes
waiting on it?
I mean to say that if there are processes blocking on the sem then
release the semaphore after use otherwise remove it.
I m in search of the best possible strategy to do this....
Any suggestions?
Thanks

1st idea. try to aquire semaphore and remove it only if aquire was
succesfull.
2nd idea. prevent creating new semaphores and reuse the old.

I am not very clear about the 1st idea. The 2nd idea can be looked
into.
At the same time i would like to know whether message queues would help
in synchronization ?
Any suggestions!!!

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

Dear community,
having written a working example for using Semphores on a windows
client, I created a little "server-application" that does the following:
A Server continously "listens/tails" a command-file for new commands.
If a new commands arrives a split of the workload to threads is under-
taken that "control themselves" via Semaphore and are joined finally.
It works.

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.

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

To make it simple, I have a simple test C program which calls my
semphore library functions only. (It doesn't call any db2 function at
all). And the following is the test program:
#include "hasem.h"
#include <semaphore.h>
#include <stdio.h>

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
everyone has read rights:

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:
