 *	  Platform-independent API for semaphores.
 *
 * PostgreSQL requires counting semaphores (the kind that keep track of
 * multiple unlock operations, and will allow an equal number of subsequent
 * lock operations before blocking).  The underlying implementation is
 * not the same on every platform.  This file defines the API that must
 * be provided by each port.

 * struct PGSemaphoreData and pointer type PGSemaphore are the data structure
 * representing an individual semaphore.  The contents of PGSemaphoreData vary
 * across implementations and must never be touched by platform-independent
 * code; hence, PGSemaphoreData is declared as an opaque struct here.
 *
 * However, Windows is sufficiently unlike our other ports that it doesn't
 * seem worth insisting on ABI compatibility for Windows too.  Hence, on
 * that platform just define PGSemaphore as HANDLE.
