Message queue support

[Jose Miguel Goncalves]

Hi,

I would like to know in what level the newlib implementation of POSIX 
message queues (mq_open, mq_send, etc..) depends on the linux kernel?

I've tried a simple example of using message queues and it fails on a 
mq_open() call to create a queue. Digging in the source code with GDB I 
see that mq_open() fails when it tries to open a shared memory file:

       ...
       /* attempt to open the shared memory file for exclusive create so 
we know
          whether we are the owners or not */
       fd = open (real_name, O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_EXCL, mode);
       if (fd < 0 && (oflag & O_EXCL))
         {
	  /* we failed and the user wanted exclusive create */
       ...

José Gonçalves
