mqueue-w32

Win32s port of POSIX mqueues

History:

This code was originally written by Aurelio Medina in 2000. The original code can be found here

http://cygwin.com/ml/pthreads-win32/2000/msg00131.html

This version has the following improvements

  • compiles without warning on VisualStudio 2012
  • works around the pthreads issue of global Mutexes by using native Windows Mutexes and Events, instead of pthreads mutexes and signals.
  • added support for mq_timedreceive()

Caveat: The demo code is multithreaded, so it does not demonstrate how to use this between different processes.
