Semaphore是旗语的意思，在Windows中，Semaphore对象用来控制对资源的并发访问数。Semaphore对象具有一个计数值，当值大于0时，Semaphore被置信号，当计数值等于0时，Semaphore被清除信号。每次针对Semaphore的wait functions返回时，计数值被减1，调用ReleaseSemaphore可以将计数值增加 lReleaseCount 参数值指定的值。

CreateSemaphore函数用于创建一个Semaphore

HANDLE CreateSemaphore(
LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSemaphoreAttributes,
LONG lInitialCount,
LONG lMaximumCount,
LPCTSTR lpName
);

lpSemaphoreAttributes为安全属性，
lInitialCount为Semaphore的初始值，
lMaximumCount为最大值，
lpName为Semaphore对象的名字，NULL表示创建匿名Semaphore

此外还可以调用OpenSemaphore来打开已经创建的非匿名Semaphore

HANDLE OpenSemaphore(
DWORD dwDesiredAccess,
BOOL bInheritHandle,
LPCTSTR lpName
);

调用ReleaseSemaphore增加Semaphore计算值

BOOL ReleaseSemaphore(
HANDLE hSemaphore,
LONG lReleaseCount,
LPLONG lpPreviousCount
);

lpReleaseCount参数表示要增加的数值，
lpPreviousCount参数用于返回之前的计算值，如果不需要可以设置为NULL

比如我们要控制到服务器的连接数不超过10个，可以创建一个Semaphore，初值为10，每当要连接到服务器时，使用WaitForSingleObject请求Semaphore，当成功返回后再尝试连接到服务器，当连接失败或连接使用完后释放时，调用ReleaseSemaphore增加Semaphore计数值。

看个例子，popo现在好像在本机只能运行三个实例，mutex可以让程序只是运行一个实例，下面我通过信号量机制让程序像popo一样运行三个实例。

#include "stdafx.h"
#include
#include
using namespace std;

const int MAX_RUNNUM = 3; //最多运行实例个数
void PrintInfo()
{
    char c;
    cout << "run program" << endl;
    cout << "input s to exit program!" << endl;
    while (1)
    {
        cin >> c;
        if (c == ‘s’)
        {
            break;
        }
        Sleep(10);
    }
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    HANDLE hSe = CreateSemaphore(NULL, MAX_RUNNUM, MAX_RUNNUM, "semaphore_test");
    DWORD ret = 0;
    if (hSe == NULL)
    {
        cout << "createsemaphore failed with code: " << GetLastError() << endl;
        return -1;
    }
    ret = WaitForSingleObject(hSe, 1000);
    if (ret == WAIT_TIMEOUT)
    {
        cout << "you have runned " << MAX_RUNNUM << " program!" << endl;
        ret = WaitForSingleObject(hSe, INFINITE);
    }
    PrintInfo();
    ReleaseSemaphore(hSe, 1, NULL);
    CloseHandle(hSe);
    return 0;
}

From MSDN:

Using Semaphore Objects

The following example uses a semaphore object to limit the number of threads that can perform a particular task. First, it uses the CreateSemaphore function to create the semaphore and to specify initial and maximum counts, then it uses the CreateThreadfunction to create the threads.

Before a thread attempts to perform the task, it uses the WaitForSingleObject function to determine whether the semaphore’s current count permits it to do so. The wait function’s time-out parameter is set to zero, so the function returns immediately if the semaphore is in the nonsignaled state. WaitForSingleObject decrements the semaphore’s count by one.

When a thread completes the task, it uses the ReleaseSemaphore function to increment the semaphore’s count, thus enabling another waiting thread to perform the task.
