    Semaphores are used to synchronize processes providing a nonBusy wait
    mechanism. A process can wait for the availability of some resource by
    performing a Semaphore>>wait, which will suspend the process until the
    resource becomes available. Signalling is done by (another process performing)
    Semaphore>>signal.
    If the resource has been already available before the wait, no suspending is
    done, but the resource immediately allocated.
    The resource internally keeps a count, the number of times the resource can be
    allocated. If the semaphore is created with a count greater than 1, the sema
    can be waited-upon that many times without blocking.
    On the other hand, if initialized with a negative count, the semaphore
    must be signalled that many times more often in order for a wait to not block.
    In other words: whenever the semaphore has a count greater than zero,
    the wait operation will proceed. Otherwise, it will block until the count has
    been incremented by signal operations to be greater than zero.

    There are also semaphores for mutual access to a critical region
    (Semaphore>>forMutualExclusion and Semaphore>>critical:).

    Additional protocol is provided for oneShot semaphores,
    (#signalOnce) and for conditional signalling (#signalIf).

    You can also attach semaphores to external events (such as I/O arrival or
    timer events).
    This is done by telling the Processor to signal the semaphore
    under some condition.
    See 'Processor>>signal:afterSeconds:', 'Processor>>signal:onInput:' etc.

    See examples in doc/coding (found in the CodingExamples-nameSpace).

    Warning/Note/Hint:
	a Semaphore-forMutualExclusion does NEVER allow for the critical
	region to be entered twice - NOT EVEN by the same process.
	That means, that a recursive attempt to enter that section leads
	to a deadlock.
	Use a RecursionLock instead, to avoid this.

    Hint:
	now (Jul2002), Semaphores now allow for a negative count; this allows for
	a sync-point to be implemented easily (i.e. to wait for multiple other processes
	to arrive at a sync-point).
	See examples.


    [instance variables:]
	count                   <SmallInteger>          the number of waits, that will go through
							without blocking.
							Incremented on #signal; decremented on #wait.

	waitingProcesses        <OrderedCollection>     waiting processes - will be served first
							come first served when signalled.

	lastOwnerId             <SmallInteger>          a debugging aid: set when count drops
							to zero to the current processes id.
							Helps in finding deadlocks.

	name                    <String>                a debugging aid: an optional userFriendly

    two processes synchronizing on a sema:
							[exBegin]
	|sema thread1 thread2|

	sema := Semaphore new.

	thread1 := [
			Transcript showCR:'here is thread 1; now waiting ...'.
			sema wait.
			Transcript showCR:'here is thread 1 again.'.
		   ] newProcess.

	thread2 := [
			Transcript showCR:'here is thread 2; delaying a bit ...'.
			Delay waitForSeconds:5.
			Transcript showCR:'here is thread 2 again; now signalling the sema'.
			sema signal.
			Transcript showCR:'here is thread 2 after the signalling.'.
		  ] newProcess.

	thread1 priority:7.
	thread2 priority:6.

	thread1 resume.
	thread2 resume.
							[exEnd]

    semaphore for critical regions:
							[exBegin]
	|accessLock|

	accessLock := Semaphore forMutualExclusion.

	[
	    5 timesRepeat:[
		Delay waitForSeconds:2.
		accessLock critical:[
		    Transcript showCR:'thread1 in critical region'.
		    Delay waitForSeconds:1.
		    Transcript showCR:'thread1 leaving critical region'.
		].
	    ]
	] forkAt:5.

	[
	    5 timesRepeat:[
		Delay waitForSeconds:1.
		accessLock critical:[
		    Transcript showCR:'thread2 in critical region'.
		    Delay waitForSeconds:2.
		    Transcript showCR:'thread2 leaving critical region'.
		].
	    ]
	] forkAt:4.
							[exEnd]

    a deadlock due to recursive enter of a critical region:
							[exBegin]
	|accessLock block|

	accessLock := Semaphore forMutualExclusion.

	block := [:arg |
		    Transcript showCR:'about to enter'.
		    accessLock critical:[
			Transcript showCR:'entered - doing action'.
			arg value
		    ].
		    Transcript showCR:'left region'.
		 ].

	block value:[].                 'this works'.
	block value:[block value:[] ].  'this deadlocks'.
							[exEnd]

    Avoid the deadlock by using a RecursionLock instead:
							[exBegin]
	|accessLock block|

	accessLock := RecursionLock new.

	block := [:arg |
		    Transcript showCR:'about to enter'.
		    accessLock critical:[
			Transcript showCR:'entered - doing action'.
			arg value
		    ].
		    Transcript showCR:'left region'.
		 ].

	block value:[].                 'this works'.
	block value:[block value:[] ].  'this deadlocks'.
							[exEnd]


   Wait for multiple processes to arrive at a sync-point:
							[exBegin]
	|syncSema proceedSema thread1 thread2 thread3|

	syncSema := Semaphore new.
	syncSema setCount:(1-3).

		  ] newProcess.

	thread3 := [

			Delay waitForSeconds:(4 + (Random nextIntegerBetween:2 and:4)).
			Transcript showCR:'here is thread 3 again - now syncing.'.
			syncSema signal.
			Transcript showCR:'thread 3 is waiting for all others...'.
			proceedSema wait.

		  ] newProcess.

	thread1 priority:7.
	thread2 priority:6.
	thread3 priority:9.

	thread1 resume.
	thread2 resume.
	thread3 resume.

	Transcript showCR:'main thread: now waiting for other threads...'.
	syncSema wait.

	Delay waitForSeconds:2.
	Transcript showCR:'main thread: now let them proceed...'.
	proceedSema signalForAll.
	Transcript showCR:'main thread: done.'.
							[exEnd]

   waitWithTimeout:0 can also be used to conditionally aquire the semaphore
   i.e. only aquire it if its available.
     |s|

     s := Semaphore new.
     [
	  (s waitWithTimeout:0) notNil ifTrue:[
