Re: Implementing the non-blocking pipes API

Per,

I meant to answer this last week. Yes this latest version
of your code worked fine.

Also, just to re-cap on your idea at least week's meeting
of revising the blocking calls to be able to deal with
any buffer size even if it exceeds the currently
supported internal buffer size of the non-blocking API,
it might make sense to have the following call:

int dpi_pipe_c_get_depth(
     void *pipe_handle,       // input: pipe handle
     svBit input_or_output ); // input: 1 for input pipe, 0 for output pipe

This to compliment the call that already exists to set it:

void dpi_pipe_c_set_depth(
     void *pipe_handle,       // input: pipe handle
     svBit input_or_output,   // input: 1 for input pipe, 0 for output pipe
     int depth );             // input: number of elements

This way, even with an implementation specified default,
you have all the information your "smart" blocking
operations would need.
