LLDB's code base has many variables that have an associated mutex that needs to be locked to safely access that variable from multiple threads. However, this locking scheme is currently not enforced by the compiler and code sometimes accesses these variables without aquiring the respective mutex first. This patch introduces a `Guarded` class that strictly enforces that some memory is only accessed after the respective mutex has been aquired. This class hands out `Locked` objects for every access which guarentee that the mutex is held as long as the variable is in scope. >From d5fc2112dc99bc54f2e27388eb079a0e5535f61d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Raphael Isemann <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 15:28:32 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [lldb] Add Guarded<T, Mutex> to Locked.h LLDB's code base has many variables that have an associated mutex that needs to be locked to safely access that variable from multiple threads.
