Hi all,
I've committed most of the files for win32-semaphore. I did happen to
notice one bug (thanks to TestUnit!) - it looks like Semaphore.new doesn't
raise an error if I try to pass a max count smaller than the initial count,
e.g.
s = Semaphore.new(3,2).
The MSDN docs say that should be illegal and a small bit of pure C code
raises error 87. However, this test fails:
# in tc_semaphore.rb
def test_invalid_constructor
assert_raises(Win32::SemaphoreError){ Semaphore.new(1,0) }
end
Looking at semaphore.c, shouldn't we check to see if the handle is NULL?
Just curious if there was a reason for only checking against
INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE.
Regards,
Dan
