Re: Loop for AfxBeginThread

I'm reading your essay on worker threads, but I won't be able to impliment
asynchronous I/O because we include WinCE / PocketPC devices, and they do
not support overlapped operations.

Currently, I have a main thread for writing, a worker thread for reading,
and a global BOOL value called (ironically) g_Overlapped.

Here is how I use it:

Main Thread - Writing:
  while (g_Overlapped)
    Sleep(1);
  g_Overlapped = TRUE;
  g_Overlapped = WriteFile( ... );
  if (g_Overlapped)
  {
    g_Overlapped = FALSE;
    // code to process
  }

Worker Thread - Reading:
  while (g_Overlapped)
    Sleep(1);
  g_Overlapped = TRUE;
  g_Overlapped = ReadFile( ... );
  if (g_Overlapped)
  {
    g_Overlapped = FALSE;
    // code to process
  }

This should work, wouldn't you think?
