(Things are done // differently under Netware.) I never could get it to work properly under // Netware, and since it's not needed there, I've commented all of the // Netware stuff out. The problem was so much that I couldn't get it // to work, but that if the named semaphore was deleted at the wrong time, // programs using it would cause errors, or worse, crash the system. To // make matters worse, I couldn't figure out a way to guarentee that the // semaphore wouldn't be deleted at the wrong time. In light of all this, // I figured it was best if this class simply didn't exist on Netware. #ifndef FTKNSEM_H #define FTKNSEM_H #include "fpackon.h" // IMPORTANT NOTE: No other include files should follow this one except // for fpackoff.h enum eNamedSemFlags { OpenOnly, CreateOnly, OpenOrCreate }; #if defined( FLM_WIN) typedef HANDLE NAMEDSEMHANDLE; #elif defined( FLM_UNIX) typedef int NAMEDSEMHANDLE; #elif defined( FLM_NLM) #else #error "Unsupported Platform" #endif #if defined( FLM_WIN) || defined( FLM_UNIX) class F_NamedSemaphore : public F_Base { public: F_NamedSemaphore( const char * pszName, FLMUINT uiMaxCount = 1, eNamedSemFlags eFlags = OpenOrCreate); virtual ~F_NamedSemaphore(); RCODE wait( void); RCODE signal( FLMUINT uiCount = 1); RCODE destroy( void); FINLINE FLMBOOL isInitialized( void) { return m_bInitialized; } private: #if defined( FLM_UNIX) FLMUINT32 NameToUnixKey( const char * pszName); #endif NAMEDSEMHANDLE m_hSem; FLMBOOL m_bInitialized; }; #endif #include "fpackoff.h" #endif // FTKNSEM_H
