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.
yeah, it was later that i caught the LIFO vs FIFO flow... my above is mainly
that a stack and a queue are, at least to me, the same but then i always do FIFO
except in extremely rare cases...
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...
don'cha hate it when that happens? ;)
