Using Mutex to prevent reentry

• 為了防止設備或是process被重複開啟, 可以用Mutex鎖定設備或是process.

• 當process結束或是主動釋放Mutex, 才可以讓其他process再度進入該程式碼中.

• 利用判斷Mutex來判斷設備或是process是否已被開啟也可以達到保護不被reentry.

• example: 鎖定特定的port:

  • 1.在開port時加入:

     char mutexName[20];
     sprintf(mutexName,"mutex%d",port);
    
     *hMutex = CreateMutexA(NULL, TRUE, mutexName);
     //printf("%d\n", *hMutex );
     if (*hMutex == NULL) {
       //printf("Error creating mutex.\n");
        return 0;
     }
     if (GetLastError() == ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS) {
      //printf("The mutex alread exists.\n");
       return 0;
     }

  • 2.在關port時加入:

     ReleaseMutex(hMutex); 
     CloseHandle(hMutex);
