Detailed Description

This is a more complex semaphore wrapper that handles race conditions for initialization correctly...

This code is a port to C++, inspired by: W. Richard Stevens from his book: UNIX Network Programming (Prentice Hall, ISBN 0-13-949876-1 - 1990). We provide a simpler and easier to understand interface to the System V Semaphore system calls. We create and use a 2 + n-member set for the requested <ACE_SV_Semaphore_Complex>. The first member, [0], is a counter used to know when all processes have finished with the <ACE_SV_Semaphore_Complex>. The counter is initialized to a large number, decremented on every create or open and incremented on every close. This way we can use the "adjust" feature provided by System V so that any process that exit's without calling <close> is accounted for. It doesn't help us if the last process does this (as we have no way of getting control to remove the <ACE_SV_Semaphore_Complex>) but it will work if any process other than the last does an exit (intentional or unintentional). The second member, [1], of the semaphore is used as a lock variable to avoid any race conditions in the <create> and <close> functions. The members beyond [1] are actual semaphore values in the array of semaphores, which may be sized by the user in the constructor.
