Isn't that the usual error that threaded software developers do: 1. get all threads depend on single mutex 2. watch them fight! (you'd get a million wakeups here a second :-) as a bonus point you get a need to copy data to a separate buffer or frenzy memory allocating with another mutex for malloc/free ;-) Domas _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
