Hi,
I am calling semop to increment or decrement
an IPC semaphore with SEM_UNDO. Then I abort
the process using Ctrl+C and check the semaphore
status. I expect the effect of the semop
to be undone at that point, but it is not.
It is either a bug or I am doing something wrong.
I see that the problem with SEM_UNDO was already
reported and on 2 Mar 2004 Corinna Vinschen wrote:

"I've checked in a fix to Cygserver."
I am using cygserver: (cygwin) 1.10
API version 1.5.11(0.116/4/1)-(3.0.0.2) 2004-09-04
23:17
So, my question is whether the SEM_UNDO was indeed
fixed and, whether it was recently tested and, if yes,
how to use it properly to have the result of semop
undone on process exit/abort.
Thank you
John
