What is the best way to create a Semaphore with timeout? [message #52857]

Hi,

I need a Semaphore with Wait(int timeout_ms); What is the best way (in terms of efficiency) to implement this timeout functionality?

Using SetTimeCallback() to Release() the Semaphore is not an option in non-GUI environment. Another thread Sleeping for the specified amount of time and then calling Release feels a bit inefficient.

(For the background: I'm building a FIFO using BiVector and wish to get minimal latency and overhead for the operation.)

Best regards,

Tom
