Abstract

See full text

A requesting program makes a first call to a messaging routine. The first call provides at least one request for at least one requested messaging operation to be performed by the messaging routine. The requesting program is permitted to continue execution prior to completion of the at least one requested messaging operation rather than blocking in response to the first call. The messaging routine is interrupted prior to completion of the at least one requested messaging operation in response to a second call which is made from the requesting program to a synchronization routine. Calling the synchronization routine has an effect of interrupting any outstanding call to the messaging routine. In some cases, an application program interface containing the synchronization routine has functionality supporting serialization of calls to the messaging routine. The call to the messaging routine is serialized, and execution of the program continues.
