Subject: missing poll(2) for semaphores
Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2001 11:46:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010419114646.B798@traian.de> (raw)
Hi, all
i am missing a good (i think) feature of unix descriptors
in SysV semaphores - to be poll(2)-able.
Have someone an idea to somehow achieve the goal ?
something like this:
int sem = create_our_pollable_semaphore();
...
...
pollfd fds[xxx];
for(i=0; i < countof(fds); fds[i++].events = POLLIN|POLLOUT);
fds[0].fd = sem;
fds[1].fd = server_sock1;
fds[2].fd = cmd_sock2;
while ( poll(fds, countof(fds), -1) >= 0 )
...
Thank you in advance
Alex Riesen
