RE: [Firebird-devel] How do I do this under Windows?

[Chris K. <ch...@ai...>]

Howdy,

Here's something I sent to Mike Nordell earlier this evening, as he's been
encouraging me in my stupidity :-)

=====
Quick question (hopefully a quick answer :-)):

Will I need differently named semaphores and events? The only reason I ask
is I found the following anomaly between the defines in ipc.h and the code
in ipclient.c. Source is from the build 796 tarball on SourceForge. I could
be missing something however.

ipserver/ipc.h
#define	IPI_CLIENT_SEM_NAME	"InterBaseIPIClientSem%d_%d"
#define	IPI_SERVER_SEM_NAME	"InterBaseIPIServerSem%d_%d"
#define	IPI_EVENT_NAME		"InterBaseIPIEvent%d"
#define	IPI_EVENT_CLASS		"InterBaseIPIEventClass"
#define	IPI_EVENT_THREAD	"InterBaseIPIEventThread%d_%d"

ipserver/ipclient.c:
- GDS_QUE_EVENTS:
sprintf( name_buffer, IPI_EVENT_THREAD, evsem);
                                        ^^^^^
                                        needs another arg

- event_packer:
sprintf( name_buffer, IPI_EVENT_NAME, icc->icc_file, icc->icc_slot);
                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                      only this one used
