Detailed Description

Wrapper around APR's thread mutexes.


Typedefs
typedef gml_TMutex_ *	gml_TMutex
	Opaque type for mutexes.
Functions
GML_EXTERN_C void	gml_MutexLock (gml_TMutex *mutex)
	Acquire an exclusive lock on a mutex.
GML_EXTERN_C void	gml_MutexUnlock (gml_TMutex *mutex)
	Release a locked mutex.
GML_EXTERN_C void	gml_MutexFinalize (gml_TMutex *mutex)
	Release any resources claimed by a mutex.

typedef struct gml_TMutex_* gml_TMutex

Opaque type for mutexes.

A mutex should always be NULL initially.

GML_EXTERN_C void gml_MutexLock ( gml_TMutex * mutex )

Acquire an exclusive lock on a mutex.

The result of locking a mutex twice from the same thread is undefined.

GML_EXTERN_C void gml_MutexUnlock ( gml_TMutex * mutex )

Release a locked mutex.

It is not an error to unlock a mutex multiple times. Behavior is undefined is the mutex has never been locked before.
