What is the maximum value that a semaphore can have? The CreateSemaphore takes in two LONGs for the inital and maximal value but passing in std::numeric_limits<LONG>::max() causes CreateSemaphore to fail (returning NULL).
Is there a documented max or #define magic constant defining the maximal count?
What is the error?
What is the exact numeric value that std::numeric_limits<LONG>::max() returns?

std::numeric_limits<LONG>::max() returns an implementation defined value of type LONG that represents the largest possible positive value for the LONG datatype (ie. biggest integral value long can hold).
Correct.
Run the application in debug mode. What is the exact numeric value that std::numeric_limits<LONG>::max() returns?

As usual...what does 'GetLastError()' return?Quote:
