I\'m looking into the Reusable Barrier algorithm from the book "The Little Book Of Semaphores" (archived here).
If I call CloseHandle on a mutex before a thread has finished with the mutex, and hence, hasn\'t yet called ReleaseMutex, what is the开发者_StackOverflow expected behaviour?CloseHandle() immediately d
I am trying to parallelize an operation using pthreads. The process looks something like: double* doSomething( .... ){
Sorry just found this code here - http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialPosixThreads.html and the mutex was explained with this code, but it has gone a little over my head. I understand the fu
I saw this: http://yukelzon.blogspot.com/2005/07/python-locks.html when looking for a solution to add some locking to existing code around writing to a file.
I read that mutexes and semaphores maintain a list of waiting processes and wake them up when the current thread completes the critical section. How do mutex开发者_Python百科es and semaphores do that?
I read that mutex and binary semaphore are different in only one aspect, in the case of mu开发者_StackOverflow中文版tex the locking thread has to unlock, but in semaphore the locking and unlocking thr
I\'m curious what the effects of the following would be: Object mutex; ...// mutex initialized in constructor etc.
A common bit of programming logic I find myself implementing often is something like the following pseudo-code:
If you have a multi-threaded application with a word variable shared between threads (ie - 32-bit data type on a 32-bit system), is it necessary to prot开发者_高级运维ect reads and writes to that word
