I need a mutex to protect a section of code of a non-member function from concurrent execution. Do I have to use use osl::Mutex::getGlobalMutex(), or do I have to create a global mutex ? Is it possible to create global mutexes, and if so, why use osl::Mutex::getGlobalMutex() instead of creating a special-purpose global mutex ?
The osl global mutex is intended for really short lived actions, mostly within UNO itself (like ensuring that some other, dynamically created mutex is only allocated once by a single thread). In general, if your code needs a mutex, it should create one of its own.
