I am attempting to use cygipc for its semaphore functionality in porting some existing UNIX code.
It would appear that semaphores are not persistent?
The code depends on the UNIX semantic of a semaphore being a global system object that exists regardless of whether any processes are currently using it.
I have processes coming and going, using the semaphore to mediate access to a disk-based queue. I have been debugging the code, and it appears that the semaphore is destroyed when no process has it open? -- Joe Buehler
