Ooops...
Now I remember why I also use Mutexes. Mutexes can be signaled and
with the reader writer code I need to be able to signal a single
blocked writer or reader. This is not possible with a critical
section.
BTW I was also wondering about the structure in locks.h.
Right now it is this.
struct apr_lock_t {
apr_pool_t *cntxt;
apr_locktype_e type;
apr_lockscope_e scope;
HANDLE mutex;
CRITICAL_SECTION section;
char *fname;
};
Would it not be better to do the following?
struct apr_lock_t {
apr_pool_t *cntxt;
apr_locktype_e type;
apr_lockscope_e scope;
union {
HANDLE mutex;
CRITICAL_SECTION section;
};
char *fname;
};
