CW10, MQX3.6, sem_open, semaphore pointer shared between tasks

[WHookway]

Hi,

Assuming the semaphores and threads are going to be used for the life of the program is it necessary to use sem_open for each thread that wishes to use the semaphore?  Can the initialization routine use sem_create followed by a sem_open and then pass the pointer to the semaphore to all those that need it?  Same question for the events.  I do plan on using the SEM_PRIORITY_INHERITANCE.

Thanks,

Will

Hi,

Follow up - actually the sample code for sem_open in the MQX Reference Manual would imply this could be done since sem_handle is being used without a corresponding sem_open, although the sem_handle is never initialized.  This is different from the same code in the users guide.

Thanks,

Will
