examp14.cpp

This example is to show use of the SemaphoreGroup and Semaphore.

For this test we use the GatewaySemaphoreGroup. We create two semaphores, each with a GatewayCount of three (3).

while the Parent thread (main) releases the resources on the first semaphore, it consumes resources on the second.

while the Child thread (threadCountTest) consumes resources on the first, it releases them on the second.
