Semaphores: sem_getvalue not implemented: why? when? workaround?

It seems sem_getvalue is not implemented on Darwin.
Does anyone know why?
Does anyone know if/when it will be implemented?
Does anyone a workaround? (i.e. any way to get the current value of a named semaphore?)
I need to share a value between two or more processes and I need to be able to atomically increase it. Using MACH semaphores does not help (no getvalue there either). One option I could see would be to use shared memory, but then I'd also have to use a named semaphore to atomically increase the value in there, but this all is starting to get quite convoluted for what is a basic functionality of named semaphores. So I'm open to any suggestion, surely someone else must have run into this problem before (like in porting Unix code to Darwin for example).

semctl is for System V semaphores, you can't use it with a pthread semaphore. I would have to re-write everything using System V semaphores rather than named pthread semaphores, which is what I am trying to avoid in the first place.
I actually find it a bit strange that System V and pthread semaphore calls are making "see also" reference to each other in the man pages while they are obviously completely different implementations (of the same semaphore concept)...

  • FUNCTION NOT IMPLEMENTED error when calling C# method from SAP, why?

    Hi,
    I've build a server stub in order to get SAP calling my own methods that exist in the C# world, for that I developed several methods in a class that extends SAPServer and then implemented them...
    I added the special custom properties needed (Abap Name, length, etc) to the function and to its parameters, I've made the ABAP code required to call it...
    I've checked, every parameters that I place in ABAP (importing, exporting and tables) are also defined in C# (its 53 parameters) with the same name (in C# they are in capital letters and in a diferent order but I tried this before and it didn't matter)...
    The name of the function is the same...
    How can I get the 'FUNCTION NOT IMPLEMENT' error in SAP?
    What's going wrong when I get this error?
    Can anyone tell me?
    Is there any place in this site that has a error description and possible reasons?
    When I get a parameter wrong I get a different error (I tried to make smaller functions and they work fine).
    Thanks for the help,

    Hi,
    I'll explain what I'm doing:
    - we have a set of services made in a C and VB that are available using an API in C#, these services must be available to SAP. So I have a program that will see what parameters the API service requires and makes a proxy so that SAP can call these services.
    To do this I must map SAP types with C#, build the function signature and then implement it. So I cannot use the wizard to do this
    Now, back to the question, what kind of customer attributes I got wrong to get that exception? The most logic is the AbapName of the function but they are equal (the one called in SAP and the one in the customer attributes of the function)...
    Thanks for the answer, can you give me any more hint?

  • HT1918 I'm from the Philippines and the County field does not accept 3 letters. Not sure why when the drop down options only has 3 letters for the provinces.

    The Philippines only has Provinces not Counties and the province initials only have 3 letters. I cannot create my Apple ID because it keeps getting the "enter at least 4 letters or numbers" error. Please help.

    well, then recovery mode does not work. I've tried all the key combinations I've seen on line. Command+R, Command+Option+R, Command+Option+P+R, none of these work.
    I don't believe there is anything we can do on a forum to help then, you need to take it into a AASP and have it professionaly diagnosed. If you don't know how to locate an AASP in your area you can begin by using Contact Apple for support and service
    Good luck.

    Any ideas or suggestions on what might be causing it? Signs tend to suggest and AJAX related problem.

  • Why when I live in Oregon is my Jet Pak saying I am in another state?

    When ever I use my Jet Pack to get on the internet at my home in John Day Oregon it will say I am in Thorton Colorado, Dallas Texas or Newark New Jersey.  I have never lived in any of those states and never have been to New Jersey.  I have a Western Washington number for the Jet Pak since I purchased it at the Alderwood Mall in August of 2012 when I visited that area due to My high school reunion but that still does not explain why when I primarly use the Jet Pak at home on my desktop computer that the Jet Pak thinks I am elsewhere then John Day Oregon!!

        That can be a little confusing, shaunie88! No need to worry, the locations you're seeing are only the switching stations or IP address locations. As long as your service is working properly, you're all set. Have a great day.

  • Why plugin/addon concept for Runtime Shared Libraries not implemented in Flex?

    Hi All,
    I am posting my refined query here in continuation to my post Fundamental and crucial drawback with Flex in Flex India Community as my last refined query was left unanswered though I feel there is a definite sense of purpose to it.
    Why plugin/addon concept for Runtime Shared Libraries not implemented in Flex?
    Here is why I feel it should be implemented in Flex.
    Though Runtime Shared Libraries SWF file can be cached in the client browser and just need to be loaded only once when the user access a Flex application for the first time,
    "40-60% of daily visitors to your site come in with an empty cache. Making your page fast for these first time visitors is key to a better user experience."
    Qouting from 'Best Practices for Speeding Up Your Web Site' as described in Tenni Theurer's blog post Browser Cache Usage - Exposed!
    While still retaining the cacheability of RSL's for compatibility reasons, flex should give the flexibility and thereby enhance performance by offering RSL's as a plugin/addon.
    Looking for your comments and insigts on the same.
    Thanks,
    Ram Manoj Kongara.

    I finally skimmed through the links you posted.  The terms plugin and addon
    are not in either of the articles so I'm unclear what you are suggesting.
    The topic seems to be about application performance.  The Flash Player
    supports a cross-domain cache of actionscript libraries separate from the
    browser cache.  Each official release of Flex contains a set of these
    libraries.  As new Flash Player versions or new Flex versions are released,
    and users visit sites utilizing those new versions, the browser picks up the
    latest Flash Player and the Flash Player picks up the latest Flex libraries.
    These days, it only takes a few months for a new Flash Player to achieve
    major saturation in browsers although it still takes a bit longer for Flex
    libraries to achieve saturation.
    Adobe will soon be hosting these libraries so if you build your application
    to leverage these libraries, you will find that the total download from your
    server will be minimized, limited to only your application code and assets,
    although you might want to serve the libraries in case they are not already
    in the cache if you see high latency to the Adobe servers on a cache miss.
    The SWF or SWFs you do serve off your servers should be optimized through
    normal good application development practices.  Flex provides features such
    as deferred instantiation in its ViewStack and Accordion containers to defer
    the creation of objects until viewed.  Flex has a ModuleManager to allow you
    to not download parts of your application until they are needed.  A
    model-view or MVC architecture will make it easier to create modular
    boundaries within your application and leverage these features.
    If I have not addressed your concerns please describe your issue in more
    detail.

  • Why does  ArrayList implement List when extending AbstractList

    Hi
    I am unable to understand why would the ArrayList class implement the List interface, when it is already extending the AbstarctList class. If anyone can explain, it would be a great help.

    Why does ArrayList implement List when extendingAbstractList
    It is a question of style. ArrayList'simplementing
    List is a crucial piece of information, whereasits
    extending AbstractList is a kind of implementation
    detail. If would not matter much to the user if it
    did not extend AbstractList but implemented List
    directly.So why don't those subclasses of ArrayList step up
    and implement List again? I agree, extending
    ArrayList is an implementation detail, and in fact
    perhaps they should have made ArrayList a field
    rather than a superclass...Because those subclasses job is not to be a List but to be an extension of ArrayList. In general if you wanted to be a List you would be extending AbstractList. You don't just implement List because you happen to have the right methods, you implement List because you feel being a List is part of that classes main behavior.
    Its a suttle point but I feel its more than a matter of style. Its a matter of correctness.
    Also, ArrayList could use composition by having an AbstractList member within itself. In this case it would implement List as well and achieve the same result. Letting users know it intends to fill the role of a List.

  • Why am I getting File not Found alert when I type into my browser?

    Why do I keep getting a File not Found alert when I type into my browser?
    I have been using firefox for about 4 yrs now with very few problems. The problem I am having is that when ever I go to type in anything into my browser I keep receiving this message:
    (Scroll down to see the rest)
    File not found
    Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region/region.propertieschronic+fatigue+syndrome.
    I recently installed Firefox 5.0 and this keeps happening. It happened with the 4.0 version a couple of days ago but mostly it is the 5.0 version that I am having problems with. When ever I want to do a search I have to manually type in google.com. Is there a solution to fix this?

    The NuGet is a dll that was built with 4.0.0.0.  The easiest thing to fix problem is target you VS project to use Net 4.0.  You could get a new version of NuGet, but if you do make sure you rebuild your entire project.  The dependencies in
    the VS compiler doesn't always recognize updated libraries.  So I normally rename the bin folder in the project and then delete the bin folder.  VS will create a new bin folder and then rebuild all the source files.  If your project contains
    multiple projects then remember to delete the bin from all projects.

    If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

    Look on one of your bank statements and be sure to enter the billing address exactly as it shows on the statement. Some folks forget where they actually get the statement. They put their home address in iTunes/Mac App Store and they actually get the statement at their place of employment or vice versa.
