I just run a example program from the book unp2v2 written W.Richard Stevens. The program includes a call to sem_open. The compilation was ok. But when I run it on FreeBSD 5-current(recent),the system print "Bad system call (core dumped)". The program code :
#include <sys/types.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <semaphore.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #define FILE_MODE (S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IROTH) int main(int argc, char **argv) { int c, flags; sem_t *sem; unsigned int value; flags = O_RDWR | O_CREAT; value = 1; while ( (c = getopt(argc, argv, "ei:")) != -1) { switch (c) { case 'e': flags |= O_EXCL; break; case 'i': value = atoi(optarg); break; } } if (optind != argc - 1) { printf("usage: semcreate [ -e ] [ -i initalvalue ] <name>"); exit(1); } if((sem = sem_open(argv[optind], flags, FILE_MODE, value))==SEM_FAILED) { perror("semaphore creation failed"); exit(1); } sem_close(sem); exit(0); } __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
