Differences Between Latches and Semaphores in Execution
Hey there
! I
'm trying to understand the differences between latches and semaphores in more detail
.
Can I use two latches as a replacement for a single
-permit semaphore
? Would they be functionally equivalent
?
In
this code example
, does
latchProgram
latchProgram
execute in the same way as
semaphoreProgram
semaphoreProgram
? Or are there still some small differences
(in terms of how they execute
) between the two
?
