The man page for sem_init(3) says: A non-zero value for pshared specifies a shared semaphore that can be used by multiple processes, which this implementation is not capable of. Is this still correct? I'm asking, both because it seems strange to not return an error if the implementation does not support pshared semaphores, and because the threads library seems to expect it to work. Eg: int _sem_init(sem_t *sem, int pshared, unsigned int value) { semid_t semid; semid = (semid_t)SEM_USER; if ((pshared != 0) && (ksem_init(&semid, value) != 0)) return (-1); <.... So is the man page out of date, or is the userspace code future-proof for when the kernel catches up? Thanks, DrewReceived on Wed Dec 02 2009 - 20:11:40 UTC
