The civilized person's synchronisation primitive. A counting semaphore is an integer which is always non-negative, so, an attempted decrement (or "wait") will block if the value is 0, until another thread does an increment (or "post"). At least on Lignux, the main advantage of this is that it is fast and the only safe way to reliably signal from a real-time audio thread. The counting semantics also complement ringbuffers of events nicely. */ class Semaphore { public: /** Create a new semaphore.
