It appears that I can enter a mutex from two different threads at the same time, which should of course be impossible.
I have made a very simple program to test this. It consists of a test class derived from Thread, which in simply enters and leaves the mutex once every second. At the same time the main thread does the same, but twice per second. As you can see from this little excerpt of the programs output, neither thread blocks when it should: main(): entering test 2092: entering test main(): leavingtest main(): entering test 2092: leavingtest main(): leavingtest This is with version 1.5.7, as 1.5.9 won't even compile. I am using gcc 3.4.2 mingw to compile. I have built ccgnu2 1.5.7 by running ./configure, make, make install from inside the msys environment. The exact same code works as expected on Linux (ccgnu 1.5.6 on Ubuntu). -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Mutex-does-not-work-on-win32-mingw-tf4814796.html#a13774032 Sent from the Gnu - Common C++ mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Bug-commoncpp mailing list Bug-commoncpp@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-commoncpp
