/**
* \defgroup ptsem Protothread semaphores
* @{
*
* This module implements counting semaphores on top of
* protothreads. Semaphores are a synchronization primitive that
* provide two operations: "wait" and "signal". The "wait" operation
* checks the semaphore counter and blocks the thread if the counter
* is zero. The "signal" operation increases the semaphore counter but
* does not block. If another thread has blocked waiting for the
2008-10-14 14:46:39 +02:00
* semaphore that is signaled, the blocked thread will become
* runnable again.
*
* Semaphores can be used to implement other, more structured,
* synchronization primitives such as monitors and message
* queues/bounded buffers (see below).
*
* The following example shows how the producer-consumer problem, also
* known as the bounded buffer problem, can be solved using
* protothreads and semaphores. Notes on the program follow after the
* example.

*
* The program uses three protothreads: one protothread that
* implements the consumer, one thread that implements the producer,
* and one protothread that drives the two other protothreads. The
* program uses three semaphores: "full", "empty" and "mutex". The
* "mutex" semaphore is used to provide mutual exclusion for the
* buffer, the "empty" semaphore is used to block the consumer is the
* buffer is empty, and the "full" semaphore is used to block the
* producer is the buffer is full.
*
* The "driver_thread" holds two protothread state variables,
* "pt_producer" and "pt_consumer". It is important to note that both
* these variables are declared as <i>static</i>. If the static
* keyword is not used, both variables are stored on the stack. Since
* protothreads do not store the stack, these variables may be
* overwritten during a protothread wait operation. Similarly, both
* the "consumer" and "producer" protothreads declare their local
* variables as static, to avoid them being stored on the stack.
