there is one buffer, only one thread write,
many threads read that buffer

what is the best solution for this problem for the x86 cpu?
How do you useful express that using the C language? :) i'm not ot

i think it is this: [because i believe it is possible many
threads can read one peace of memory in the same time...]

thread write:
unsigned32bits   v=0, mem=0;

mem=7;
/* wait until v is 0 */
Wait(&v, 0);
change(buffer, len)
mem=0;

--------------

threads read:
/* wait until mem is 0 */
Wait(&mem, 0);
atomic++(&v); /* if v==-1 seg fault :) */
leggi(buffer, len)
atomic--(&v);

you see dead lock on all this? i not...
