Ashley, I agree but why would the sleep only work in the spawned threads
and not the main process? I used the sleep to try to forego a problem
with the semaphores. Semaphores are used in the code to enforce
synchronization of the different threads. I don't think it works when
running the application through valgrind.
Konstantin, I'm launching valgrind through this command line:
[user]$ valgrind --log-file=memcheck.txt --leak-check=full -v
./myapp.bin
The main loop is the following:
{
InitLayer1();
InitLayer2();
rv = sem_init(&main_thread_sem, 0, 0);
assert(rv == 0);
// Keep primary thread alive for sequenced shutdown
rv = sem_wait(&main_thread_sem) ; // sem_post from TTY_STOP signal
assert(rv == 0);
rv = sem_destroy(&main_thread_sem);
assert(rv == 0);
// Reverse order from startup
ShutdownLayer2();
ShutdownLayer1();
}
If I leave the code as is, under valgrind, the sem_wait asserts. That's
why I was trying to put a delay there, just so I could reach have the
system start and shutdown properly.
