Miguel,
For some time OSX has had Posix thread support including semaphores.
In that case, my app has a very strange behaviour on OSX, I make use of
sem_init(), sem_wait() & sem_post(), and in OSX my threads never
wait on sem_wait().
I googled after that problem and saw a lot of "OSX doesn't support
POSIX Semaphores", after which I irresponsibly stopped looking for the
cause of the problem. Apparently that could be the case in OSX 10.3,
but I'm using 10.4.
Is there any kind of peculiarity in how I should use posix semaphores?
(header files, semaphore inicialization or linker flags...)
In linux/ppc, I do not have this isssue..
ps.: if I'm in the wrong list (probably I am, where should I look for information/help?)
