KB>So, am I correct in assuming that in this situation I must KB>absolutely guarantee that this memory will be used exclusively by KB>that thread for as long as the thread might need it? Yep, or at least long enough to be copied, which can be accomplished by passing a pointer to a structure containing a pointer to a semaphore member which the thread posts after copying, for example. The semaphore could also be global or named(/shared), depending on the circumstances. KB>And therefore, that I should probably use a static int array? Not necessarily (though it could be a suitable method for a given task). You can allocate the data and let the thread free it, for example. There's a large arsenal out there. --- XHEd-OS/2 1.22* Origin: The Pit (1:380/16) SEEN-BY: 12/2442 54/54 620/243 624/50 632/348 640/820 690/660 711/409 410 413 SEEN-BY: 711/430 807 808 809 934 712/353 623 713/888 800/1 @PATH: 380/5 25 3615/50 229/2 12/2442 711/409 54/54 711/808 809 934 |
