Hello, According to sem_init(3), we can't have shared unnamed semaphores. However, the following code snippet seems to work just fine:
-- cut here -- sem_t semaphore; if (sem_init(&semaphore, 1, 10) < 0) std::cout << "Couldn't init semaphore: " << strerror(errno) << std::endl; if (sem_wait(&semaphore) < 0) std::cout << "Couldn't decrement semaphore: " << strerror(errno) << std::endl; int val; sem_getvalue(&semaphore, &val); std::cout << "Value is " << val << std::endl; -- and here -- Is this a case where sem_init() silently reports success, or should be the man page get an update?
