Yes, but I do not need counting semaphore. Binary semaphore fits in my
case. I am looking for it to understand and then implement.

I want some advice on Inter Process Communication (IPC). I have one
dynamic library(dylib) and one application(app). Actually I am
porting
something from Windows so I will write about windows code.
In Application, I create one event object (eventName). Now, I
create
one thread and call waitForSingleObject and now it is waiting for
someone to set the event and the it will come out. In DLL I create
one event object of same name (eventName). Now, whenever I need,
set
the event in DLL then in application that thread comes out of
wait and
executes the code and again start waiting.
You are describing a condition variable, which is a simplified case
of a
counting semaphore. Google either of these.
