phpruntests - GSoC report 3

Hi all, 

here's my third report on the php-runtests-project:

best regards, 
g2



TIME SPENT:
about 25 hours


HIGHLIGHT:

getting my first pctnl-example running, including a clean ipc using
message-queues. It was pretty cool to see the advantage of this technologies
in a practical use-case.


KEY CONCERNS: -


WAITING FOR: -


KEY TASKS THAT STALLED:

my progress in the last two weeks wasn't as big as planned because of
writing an exam this week.


KEY ACCOMPLISHMENT:

- refreshing my knowledge of on multithreading, ipc, msg-queues and
shared-memory. Getting granular on this concepts within a
php-oo-environment.

- implementing an abstract multithread-prototype which is able to perform a
arbitrarily task and distribute it to a number of processes (using pcntl and
message-queues).


MY TODOS:

- implementing singnal-handlers for exception-conditioning.
- extend the prototype to offer a shm-variant
- clean up the code to get a clear oo-structure
