I am not sure whether this is a bug, or a difference in
interpretation of the OpenStep spec... I apologize if this has been
discussed before.
In Cocoa Foundation, if I have an NSLock that has not already been
locked, and I do:
[myLock unlock]
it is ignored, and the program continues.
In GNUStep, the same thing (trying unlock on something that has not
been locked), it causes an exception. This is because in the GNUStep
implementation, if objc_mutex_unlock returns -1, the exception is
raised. Is this necessary?
I wouldn't ask about this, except that working around the difference
in the code I'm porting is not entirely trivial....
Thanks!
