I've found the problem. It looks like
the
pthreads-win32 coders already know about it,
as
it is commented in the set_getvalue.c source
file:
/* Note: * The windows NT documentation says that the increment must be * greater than zero, but it is set to zero here. If this works, * the function will return true. If not, we can't do it this way * so flag it as not implemented. */ It has to do with the differences between the
Win98
and Win NT implementation of the function
ReleaseSemaphore(). For the record, I ran the same
piece of
code on 98 and NT platforms, and the sem_getvalue()
function
does *not* work on NT (*as was
suspected).
Thanks again everyone
Rob
