I can't seem to find a way where next_count can be more than 1. x.signal is called inside a body of F, and mutex is taken by the calling process. No other process can call x.signal, until mutex is set back to 1 (this can only be done by the first process calling x.signal). So next_count can never be more than 1. Do you agree with the reasoning? Hi,

All of us have dreams at one point or the other, but not everyone has the opportunity to follow them. The ones that do are considered very lucky - the rest of us are simply lost in the flow of the inevitable process called 'life'. I dream of being able to register for this site, but I have been trying in vain for 10 full minutes. Am I doing the right thing by posting a reply first?
