Synchronisation objects. - When to use what

[Shiva Prasad]

Hi all, I have used some of the synch objects in my code. At times I tried using more that one for same purpose, and both works fine.. Many books, docs explain about the synch objects..But I couldn't find about the analysis of When to use what kind of sych objects in detail.. Can someone who has a solid understanding on this can share their thoughts on this..or can give some pointers on When to use what synch objects.. Thanks,

Thanks Anyway.. But this discusses what each synch object is.. I am looking for info on distinguistion between each and other object with respect to a sample situation.. Let me know if you have more info on this.. Thanks,

A general compare of all sync object types would take a bit of space ... and then likely be incomplete. Do you have specific cases ? e.g. critical section vs mutex in a situation where ... ...cmk Save the whales - collect the whole set

As cmk mentioned, you should list certain situations and scenarios. You mentioned that you've used different sync objects in the same situtation, and they all worked fine. What situation and which objects? Bob Ciora
