I have just committed changes to create a platform-independent internal API for semaphores, along the lines discussed yesterday.
At this point, the Darwin (Mac OS X), BeOS, and QNX4 ports are probably broken. I will fix the Darwin port (probably not till tomorrow though); volunteers to clean up the BeOS and QNX4 ports are needed. BTW, there is a quick hack attempt at a POSIX-semaphore-based implementation in src/backend/port/posix_sema.c. I have not tested this yet, but expect to do so as part of fixing the Darwin port. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
