Block until an event has completed.
- by robUK
Hello,
gcc 4.4.2 c89
I have a function that has to run (config_relays). It make a call to a API function called set_relay, then the code has to wait before continuing until the event for set_relay event has completed. The set_relay is any Async call.
i.e.
void run_processes()
{
switch()
{
case EV_RELAY_SET:
break;
}
}
void config_relays()
{
set_relay();
/* Wait until EV_RELAY_SET has fired */
/* Cannot do init_relay until set_relay event has fired - has to block here */
init_relay();
}
I guess I could put the init_relay() in the switch. However, that event is used for other things and not just for initializing the relay. I would really like to handle everything in the config_relays function.
In C# you can do this by using autoreset. Does C have anything like that.
Many thanks for any advice,
