有名信号量在无相关进程间的同步
有名信号量的特点是把信号量的值保存在文件中。这决定了它的用途非常广:既可以用于线程,也可以用于相关进程间,甚至是不相关进程。由于有名信号量的值是保存在文件中的,所以对于相关进程来说,子进程是继承了父进程的文件描述符,那么子进程所继承的文件描述符所指向的文件是和父进程一样的,当然文件里面保存的有名信号量值就共享了。
有名信号量是位于共享内存区的,那么它要保护的资源也必须是位于共享内存区,只有这样才能被无相关的进程所共享。在下面这个例子中,服务进程和客户进程都使用shmget和shmat来获取得一块共享内存资源。然后利用有名信号量来对这块共享内存资源进行互斥保护。
