Once again, I find I need a binary semaphore for a C application I'm
porting from another OS.
The eCos kernel has binary semaphores, but there is only a C++ API and
no C API. I and others have asked why there is no C API for binary
semaphores, and all I've ever really understood of the answer was that
certain developers didn't think binary semaphores were cool enough.
I'm implementing a C API for binary semaphores. It'c completely
trivial and consits of only a few dozen lines of code. Any chance
such a patch would be accepted, or are binary semaphores still too
uncool to sit at the same lunch table as mutexes and counting
semaphores?
