Try using the pthread_mutex calls, or the pth equivalent.

Hello,
I'm a new pth user (started today! :) ), and am looking for a nice way to
implement a semaphore under libpth. My application currently uses pthread's
sem_post/sem_wait functions, and I'm still wondering which of the pth's
functions is the proper one.
My app consists of a consumer/producer threads model, and they share a large
buffer. I need that the consumer locks when there's no data. The expected
production rate is very high (up to 150,000 items per second) and in form of
bursts.
Currently, I'm analysing:
* pth_suspend / pth_resume
* pth_cond_await / pth_cond_notify
For simplicity, as I'm not experienced pth user, I've chosen pth_suspend /
pth_resume functions. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
