Testing "can I get the resource" by obtaining and then releasing it doesn't do anything productive, but it DOES drive up resource contention and overhead. The problem with any such approach is that the state of the resource is quite likely to be different the moment you release it, so a subsequent attempt to obtain it would block anyway. There IS a conditional form of ENQ you can use if you don't want to become trapped in amber while some paleolithic production job runs all day. -- This email might be from the artist formerly known as CC (or not) You be the judge. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
