Sender: daemon@watdragon.waterloo.edu (Owner of Many System Processes) Organization: University of Waterloo Date: Mon, 25 Feb 1991 18:26:51 GMT Lines: 11 In older Mach papers, I saw these two functions, or other names for them, to increment the suspend count, and to sleep until the suspend count was zero. There were examples that showed the use of this split to user semaphores. In the 3.0 release, and some older, but not that old, papers, I can only find thread_suspend, which subsumes both. Does anyone know what happened? I'm curious. -- -Colin Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
