[comp.sys.sequent] s_lock vs S_LOCK

hammonds@turing.cs.rpi.edu (Steve Hammond) (09/08/88)

I am having trouble using s_lock() vs. the in-line macro S_LOCK.
I have looked at the code for the macro but don't see the
problem.  I have been using s_lock() without any trouble but
felt I could use the speed up of having in-line macro instead
of making the 100k procedure calls that my application required.

Rather than fill this newsgroup with details of my probelm, I would
prefer to correspond with someone via e-mail and then I will post
a summary of what I have learned...  So, if you have successfully
used S_LOCK could you let me know and I will tell you what
behaviour I am observing.  I appreciate the help.  Thanks.

   Steve
