Re: POSIX close() issue


Nick,

Any suggestions on how I could proceed, while I consider my design?  This only seems to be an issue
at close() time... is there any chance of a resolution in eCos?

Steve

These are locks on different mutexes. In cyg_fp_free() it is locking
fdlock which protects the file descriptors and file objects. In
cyg_file_lock() the lock is in the file object itself.

Unfortunately you are. The FILEIO system was not implemented with the
idea that filesystem implementations would call back into it.
