ThreadSemaphore Struct Reference

Detailed Description

A simple semaphore implementation.

The semaphore class is used as a simple mechanism where one thread can send a message to another thread. This means that the underlying implementation of the thread class does not necessarily have to be a semaphore.

#include <ThreadLib.h>

Inherits ThreadSemaphoreBase.

signal()

void ThreadSemaphore::signal

(

)

Signal a waiter or make a notification available for a later wait (C: ThreadSemaphore_signal).

Queued-notification capacity and whether repeated signals accumulate are port-specific. Returns no status.
