GNUwin32 IPC mechanisms

[Andreas Speck <speck at LOCAL dot informatik dot uni-tuebingen dot de>]

Dear CYGNUS Team

Currently I'm porting software (including IPC mechanisms like semaphores
and shared memory) from UNIX to WindowsNT.

The compiler I use is the CYGNUS GNU WIN32 C++-Compiler (version b18).


- Does the CYGNUS GNU WIN32 C++-Compiler support POSIX (or any other
  UNIX, e.g. System V) semaphores (or other synchronizing mechanism) 
  and shared memory?
  (Currently I use the mehanisms of WindowsNT.)

- I ported a program which uses sigsuspend() to wake up a process when 
  a signal arrives.
  The sigsuspend() call is part of loop. The first few times    
sigsuspend() wakes up the process, but then sigsuspend() doesnt 
  awake the process. Is this a bug of sigsuspend()?

- Are there any code samples ilustrating the use of IPC mechanisms?

Thank you!


Regards

Andreas Speck
