I am looking for a library that addresses the producer/consumer problem for buffers in userspace (probably using the pthread library. So instead of saying
/* Bunch of thread startup order synchronization stuff */ /* do what is to be done to a segment of the buffer */ /* lock next negment */ /* release last segment */ for all the threads that need to access the ring buffer, I can just write a function like /* transform one buffer segment as desired */ Then call a function with a callback to concurrently make that transformation on all segments in a specified order with other similar transforming functions. Does anyone know if anything like this exists? Britton Kerin __ GNU GPL: "The Source will be with you... always."
