[ace-users] ACE_Process_Semaphore vs. ACE_Semaphore(int count, int type = USYNC_PROCESS)

[Michael Carr]

I have the same question for ACE_RW_Process_Mutex vs
ACE_RW_Mutex(int type=USYNC_PROCESS).

Furthermore, there is a note in the source for the
former that says "Note that because this class uses
the <ace_file_lock> as its implementation it only can
be reliably used between separate processes, rather
than threads in the same process. This isn't a
limitation of ACE, it's simply the file lock semantics
on UNIX and Win32".  Is the same tru for
ACE_RW_Mutex(int type=USYNC_PROCESS)?

Thanks again,
