hi ,
have u ever worked on RTOS?
I have doubts. kindly help to get rid of dilemma.

1) what is the difference between signal and event?
2) what is the difference between mutex and binary semaphore?

i have searched on net, but failed to clear doubts.
Can u help me?

Thanks.

Thanks Neo.

Thanks.
But i have also seen header file, where it does not have any extension.what abt that? why header files do not carry any extension.

I have seen header files in c++ are without *.h extension.while extension is preserved in c. why need to declare header files without any *.h extension? what will its benefit.

Thanks

in this program int main() { char far *fp=0x8f290ef; char huge *hp=0x8f290ef; for(char loop=0;loop<20;loop++) { cout<<"far"<<(long *)fp<<'\t'<<"huge"<<(long *)hp<<endl; } getch(); } i have seen the in case of huge pointer its offset value(i.e. first LSB of 4 byte address) is between 0 to 0xf. and af...

Thanks Neo.

Thanks,
It means if i declare
__align(128) unsigned char buffer[10];

then suppose address of buffer[0]=a
buffer[1]=a+128/8;
.....

is it right? but i have not seen this?

Thanks,
But i have seen that
__align(16) unsigned char buffer[20];

what will be its benefit here for declaring buffer of 20 elements which can store only value from 0 to 255?

Thanks,

Hi,
I have read that __align is used to set the boundary of variable, what is its benefit.
suppose __align(2) unsigned short u;

even unsigned short variable can have its value from 0 to 65535. then where is difference lies.
second thing, can we say that __align is a qualifier in c/c++.
Thanks.
