[Opensync-users] is smlDataSyncRun synchronous

[Michael B. <mic...@cm...>]

Hi,

I send the answer to a user question on IRC after the user disconnected
and I killed the direct chat room. So atom_, here is your answer and
sorry for the abort.

BTW direct question means you should prefix your question/message with
bellmich: on IRC so that it is highlighted for me.

(06:21:16 PM) atom_: is smlDataSyncRun() synchronous?
(06:21:26 PM) azeem: there's absolutely no problem with asking questions
(06:21:50 PM) azeem: better address bellmich directly, I doubt anybody
else knows off-hand
(06:22:00 PM) atom_: ok
(06:32:10 PM) atom_ left the room (quit: "http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC
Client").
(06:33:11 PM) bellmich: atom_: No.
(06:38:39 PM) azeem: that was only 4 minutes!
(06:38:46 PM) bellmich: The syncml-ds-tool main function is a bit tricky
here.
(06:39:10 PM) bellmich: The first mutex lock really locks the mutex
after smlDataSyncRun.
(06:39:24 PM) bellmich: The second call blocks until the mutex is unlocked.
(06:39:32 PM) bellmich: Where is the mutex lock unlocked?
(06:40:03 PM) bellmich: It is unlocked in the event callback
recvEventCallback.
(06:40:36 PM) bellmich: The unlock happens if the event
SML_DATA_SYNC_EVENT_FINISHED is received.
(06:40:56 PM) bellmich: I use the mutex lock to block the main function.
(06:41:30 PM) bellmich: The complete stuff is asynchron but main is
synchron. So I must block the main function until the synchronization is
over.
