init_async_ipc
init_async_ipc — requests queue information from a task.
Syntax
init_async_ipc (other_task)
Arguments
- other_task
A task descriptor as assigned to a
locate_task
call.
Returns
Non-nil on
success, or nil on failure.
Description
This function initializes the interprocess communication
system to allow this task to make calls to
register_point,
register_existing_point,
send_async and
send_string_async. It requests queue
information from the given task. A deadlock situation
could occur if two tasks attempt to initialize
asynchronous communication with one another at the same
time. The queue server task, qserve,
must be running for this call to succeed.
Example
Gamma> init_ipc("mytask","mytask_q");
t
Gamma> task = locate_task("server", t);
#<Task: 32271>
Gamma> init_async_ipc(task);
t
