#128 QP Semaphore Max Value Setting

[Anonymous]

QP semaphores are counting semaphores; would it be possible to add a max count value?
• We have a use case which requires the equivalent of a binary semaphore. For example, if a high priority thread signals a semaphore 2 times, a lower priority thread waiting on that semaphore will unblock twice. We would like it to unblock only once no matter how many times the semaphore was signaled by the higher priority thread.
• A max count rather than a specific binary semaphore implementation seems more general purpose
