Re: semaphores in Darwin

Perhaps because they have similar functionality in the mach_semaphore libraries?

I don't know why either. I filed a bug about this and it's stil "Open for review".

Hi folks,
I notice that Darwin and Mac OS X doesn't implement Posix memory-based semaphores, but only named semaphores. That is, you can use sem_open but not sem_init (which returns ENOSYS).

Can anyone shed any light on why this is so??

Thanks.....Peter
