Module Stdlib.MutexSource
Locks for mutual exclusion.
Mutexes (mutual-exclusion locks) are used to implement critical sections and protect shared mutable data structures against concurrent accesses. The typical use is (if m is the mutex associated with the data structure D):
Mutex.lock m;
(* Critical section that operates over D *);
Mutex.unlock mThe type of mutexes.
Lock the given mutex. Only one thread can have the mutex locked at any time. A thread that attempts to lock a mutex already locked by another thread will suspend until the other thread unlocks the mutex.
Same as Mutex.lock, but does not suspend the calling thread if the mutex is already locked: just return false immediately in that case. If the mutex is unlocked, lock it and return true.
Unlock the given mutex. Other threads suspended trying to lock the mutex will restart. The mutex must have been previously locked by the thread that calls Mutex.unlock.
protect mutex f runs f() in a critical section where mutex is locked (using lock); it then takes care of releasing mutex, whether f() returned a value or raised an exception.
The unlocking operation is guaranteed to always takes place, even in the event an asynchronous exception (e.g. Sys.Break) is raised in some signal handler.
