  1. Project 3 Roadmap Message Passing

  2. Fast communication mechanism • Usually implemented as a Circular Buffer • Think of an UNIX pipe

  3. Message_Queue_Create() • int Message_Queue_Create(const char *name, ulong_t queue_size) • similar to Create_Semaphore() • each queue has name, id and a bounded size • shared among threads • add a message queue list to User_Context

  4. Message_Queue_Destroy() • int Message_Queue_Destroy(int mqid) • similar to Destroy_Semaphore() • keep a ref count, free only when ref count reaches 0

  5. Message_Queue_Send() • int Message_Queue_Send(int mqid, void * buffer, ulong_t message_size) • check buffer and message size • similar to Write() • blocks is queue full

  6. Message_Queue_Receive() • int Message_Queue_Receive(int mqid, void * buffer, ulong_t message_size) • check buffer and message size • similar to Read() • blocks is queue empty
