Hi all: I have recently written a small set of routines that allow two process to have a "mutex" between them.. actually it allows all of the threads in any set of processes to have mutexes between themselves ;-) Anyway it seems to be working fairly well.. I still have to write a man page for it (documentation always last).. and eventually I would like to port in some of the WITNESS type features since the mutex's have names.. I probably should also think about scaling it up a bit.. right now its really more for a small scale (100 or less mutexes)... Who should I talk to about getting this in... having it reviewed etc. I think it belongs in libthr since it really needs the tid of the pthreads from the pthread_t type... and for now I have a horrible hack in to get it ;-) Thanks R ------------------------------ Randall Stewart 803-317-4952 (cell) 803-345-0391(direct)
