hunh? i thought a queue was an orderly format already... just like a
stack... like getting in the queue to get on the metro or to enter the
stadium to see your favorite band or to even buy lunch ;)
i must admit that i don't see the apparent difference :?
So I take it you'd be happy if the last person to join the queue was
always the first to be served, possibly taking the place of somebody
currently /being/ served. Whatever, that aspect is apparently being changed.
Has anybody ever built a simple round-robin scheduler based on this,
for example
to handle low-speed comms on an indeterminate number of serial ports?
i haven't, yet :P
I'm planning a crude hack, hopefully just a list of TDataEvent with
control being distributed by a shim in a single async call procedure.
However I've got some system management work that's intruding...
