Does GNU Pth library support process shared mutexes?
CoreLinux++ WILL support process shared mutexes through a combination of shared memory and semxxx. This will take a few weeks to implement and will require that all applications needing this will require using the libcorelinux++ libraries. It is also C++. Frank V. Castellucci http://corelinux.sourceforge.net =================================TOP=============================== Q329: I am trying to make a thread in Solaris to get timer signals. I am trying to make a thread in Solaris to get timer signals every second. I am using setitimer() and sigwait() to set up and catch the signals respectively. I am sorry to tell you that setitimer()/sigwait() does not work with the threads/pthreads library on Solaris. I won’t go into the details, but it is a sorry tale. To make a thread do a periodic action, use cond_timedwait() on a dummy cond_t/mutex_t pair that has no other function than to be used in the call to cond_timedwait(). The thread will wakeup at the time you specify. It can then do the
