<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I got so involved in getting the proposed optional third parameter to<br>
setGlobalVariable() that I did not consider all of the possibilities.<br>
<br>
Using the change along with getGlobalVariable() is ok for data that<br>
would only change or for data that does not need to be completely unique.<br>
<br>
I also have a need to have a global counter that can both be incremented<br>
and decremented. This counter is designed to give me more control over the<br>
number of calls than the current mod_limit will provide.<br>
This would be used during a period where they may be several calls<br>
either entering the system, exiting the system, or both.<br>
<br>
It would be nice to have routines that would just increment or decrement<br>
safely. They would be much faster.<br>
<br>
I have spent the last couple of years working with Visual Studio and C++.<br>
The natural solution I would take in this situation would be to use<br>
InterlockedIncrement() and InterlockedDecrement().<br>
In this environment I don't think I want to propose this.<br>
<br>
What I would like to propose is the following set of routines<br>
(using JavaScript notation):<br>
// Initialize the counter to a specified value<br>
initGlobalCounter(string name of variable, initial value);<br>
<br>
// Add a value to the global counter<br>
addGlobalCounter(string name of variable, value to add);<br>
<br>
// Subtract a value from the global counter<br>
reduceGlobalCounter(string name of variable, value to subtract);<br>
<br>
I am open to suggestions as to names of the routines.<br>
Even though all I need (now) is increment and decrement, since<br>
the code will need to use the Global Variable Mutex locks, it<br>
might as will be more general.<br>
