There are 7 routines available to the user: * * id = sem_create(key, initval); # create with initial value or open * id = sem_open(key); # open (must already exist) * sem_wait(id); # wait = P = down by 1 * sem_signal(id); # signal = V = up by 1 * sem_op(id, amount); # wait if (amount < 0) * # signal if (amount > 0) * sem_close(id); # close * sem_rm(id); # remove (delete) * * We create and use a 3-member set for the requested semaphore. * The first member, [0], is the actual semaphore value, and the second * member, [1], is a counter used to know when all processes have finished * with the semaphore. The counter is initialized to a large number, * decremented on every create or open and incremented on every close. * This way we can use the "adjust" feature provided by System V so that * any process that exit's without calling sem_close() is accounted * for. It doesn't help us if the last process does this (as we have * no way of getting control to remove the semaphore) but it will * work if any process other than the last does an exit (intentional * or unintentional). * The third member, [2], of the semaphore set is used as a lock variable * to avoid any race conditions in the sem_create() and sem_close() * functions. */ #include #include #include namespace boost { namespace interprocess { namespace xsi { // Create a semaphore with a specified initial value. // If the semaphore already exists, we don't initialize it (of course). // We return the semaphore ID if all OK, else -1. inline bool simple_sem_open_or_create(::key_t key, int initval, int &semid, int perm) { int id, semval; semid = -1; if (key == IPC_PRIVATE) return false; //not intended for private semaphores else if (key == (::key_t) -1) return false; //probably an ftok() error by caller again: if ((id = ::semget(key, 1, (perm & 0x01FF) | IPC_CREAT)) < 0) return false; //permission problem or tables full semid = id; return true; } /**************************************************************************** * Remove a semaphore. * This call is intended to be called by a server, for example, * when it is being shut down, as we do an IPC_RMID on the semaphore, * regardless whether other processes may be using it or not. * Most other processes should use sem_close() below. */ inline bool simple_sem_rm(int id) { if (::semctl(id, 0, IPC_RMID, 0) < 0) return false; return true; } /**************************************************************************** * General semaphore operation.
