Hi,
I posted this here because a core Developer (Tal Einat), asked me to, although
I am not sure what is the protocol from here. Does this enhancement request
look reasonable ?
If yes, I would love to open a PR.
If not, any suggestions, feedback is very welcome.
I've been thinking about this for a couple of days now, and I think for
what little it's worth my answer is mostly yes. You're basically asking
for Named Semaphores, which are a perfectly sensible thing to want for
inter-program communications. I hesitate only because I'm more used to
thinking about these things in terms of message-passing protocols, but
that's no reason to reject your request. My only bit of bikeshedding is
that they ought to be a different class to the basic Semaphore to make
it clear they have a different scope.
Is it worth broadening out the discussion to other sorts of named
objects? Named Pipes particularly spring to my mind...
