    producer/Consumer

    hi
    i have a producer consumer programs running with sleep() command after every successful read/write.Now if the sleep command in the consumer is removed then the consumer is looping continuosly for the producer to produce.Instead shall v make it wait till the producer writes into shared memory so that consumer can read????wait() cant be used as there is no parent- child relationship exists between these programs ..so is there any other way?????

    thanx in advance

    OS? Linux: pthread_cond_signal and pthread_cond_wait
    Win: WaitForMultipleObjects I believe...
