Hi all.
I need to implement a system wide locking system in all WIn32, Win64, Linux32
and Linux64. Therefore I need some king of named locking objects.
For Windows I can use mutexes. For Linex I can only use sem_t structures managed
by a series of functions in pthrlinux.inc but they are unnamed which means that
they are only usable inside a multi-treaded process and not system wide.
Something else I miss ?
the old school simple solution is to just use a file... no need to get
fancy... if the file exists or not is all you need to worry about :)
Read my remark just above.
i did and using a file as a semaphore to (b)lock or not seems fine... i use file
semaphores in my stuff on numerous OS' and across numerous languages and
scripting formats...
