Message Passing - Introduction

Chapter 7 - Message Passing in XINU


OK - I said in the last chapter's notes that process synchronization was one of my favorite subjects. Those of you that know me well will know, however, that IPC is the real love of my life. That's the topic of this chapter - IPC.

True to its design philosophy, IPC in XINU is horribly simple. It's nice in that we can look at some trivial code, but it kind of leaves one wanting more. We will clearly have to do something about this.
