Recently I finished project. It included new upgraded version of ConveyorThread and brand new RS232Thread class.
RS232Thread is really advanced helper class useful i.e. for industrial automation, when it`s necessary to have some good tool for programming COM-port (RS232) i/o.
I`d like to contribute these classes into some package into U++. For now, they are targeted for Win32 only. It is due to Mutex and Semaphore limitations listed above.
I`m no professional in Linux, but if these base sync classes functionality extended, I`ll try to write complete multiplatform ConveyorThread and RS232Thread.
Is it possible to add necessary functionality to these classes?
Maybe it will be necessarry to just #ifdef PLATFORM_LINUX and use Linux API here...
