cf_make_sem¶
Category: multithreading
GitHub: cute_multithreading.h
Returns an initialized semaphore.
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
| initial_count | The initial value of the semaphore. |
Remarks¶
Semaphores are used to prevent race conditions between multiple threads that need to access common resources. Usually you'll have N resources, and initialize the semaphore to N. This is a rather advanced and low-level topic, beware. To learn more about semaphores I suggest reading the online book "The Little Book of Semaphores".
