[Info-vax] counting-lock ?

[Pierre]

Hans, VAXman,

I use the DLM because if the process owning a lock dies, the lock is
automatically released.
if I understand correctly what you say, a logical or a license would
be used in the same way as a counting-semaphore: I increment the
counter when entering the "critical path" and decrement it when
leaving it but if the process dies (bug, stop/id, etc) the counter is
never decremented :(

Pierre.
