表現(xiàn)互斥現(xiàn)象的數(shù)據(jù)結(jié)構(gòu),也被當(dāng)作二元信號(hào)燈。一個(gè)互斥基本上是一個(gè)多任務(wù)敏感的二元信號(hào),它能用作同步多任務(wù)的行為,它常用作保護(hù)從中斷來的臨界段代碼并且在共享同步使用的資源。

  mutual exclusion(互斥現(xiàn)象)

 Process(進(jìn)程)

   A word that is often confused with task or thread. The crucial distinction is that all of the tasks in a system share a common memory space. Processes, on the other hand, always have their own private memory space. Processes are common in multi-user systems but are rarely, if ever, found in embedded systems.

這個(gè)名詞經(jīng)常與任務(wù)或線程混淆。至關(guān)重要的差別在于系統(tǒng)中的所有任務(wù)共享公共的內(nèi)存空間。進(jìn)程,另一方面,常常有它們自己的私有內(nèi)存空間。進(jìn)程在多用戶系統(tǒng)中,但少有地,如有可能,也可在嵌入式系統(tǒng)中。
