Hello, I have a question, please include me in the reply specifically because I'm not subscribed to the mailing list. Thanks
I want a thread to spin atomically on a value until it's equal to 1(i.e. it's waiting for an event), how do I do that? I have no idea.. I want this to be fast, not have to use a mutex each time to protect the value I have an idea of how to do it using atomic assembly statements but I don't want to use assmebly, I want to know if FreeBSD has built-in stuff for this. Please help thanks. This is required because I'm building R/W locks for a transaction system I'm working on, and I need a way for a thread waiting on a lock to be notified when a lock is gotten (and without having the thread block [that's why I want it to spin]). Any hints would be appreciated thanks, once again. ---- Andrei Cojocaru [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
