Hi all, I stumbled upon this strange looking piece of code [1]. I thought it dereferences the pointer, creating a copy of the mutex, and then calls RLock() on the copy (i.e. a nop). But it does not work this way. I experimented with it [2] and [3] and it looks like my reading of code is wrong. Could someone explain how dereferencing a pointer works in this case please? Language spec is not very explicit about it (unless I missed it) [4].
Thank you. Mikhail.
