Yes,
Semaphores is the best solution I feel.
First create a binary semaphore with SEM_EMPTY option.
And the tasks which are writing the data into the shared area should
release
the semaphore once they have written the data.
The task that is reading from the share data should acquire the
semaphore
before reading from the shared data area.
Let me know wheather this works or not.
