Re: Re: Thread Synchronization Mechanism

I'm sorry, but your response to the perl ithreads join help!! thread has nothing whatsoever to do with my question. Is there something there on synchronized process starts? I don't see it.

The second example provides a method for passing messages to the threads. You could make the messages 2-part: the first part for selecting which thread should process it, and the second part the action/message. Receiving threads which are not the intended recpipent would re-queue it. This is slightly inefficient, but, depending on the number or syncs required, this could be a reasonable mechanism.
