Thanks to those who replied. Yes, this is how I remember it. Two thoughts: 1. I always understood "reentrant" to refer to code or an object that could be executed safely by multiple threads or processes. However, the ReentrantMutex would only be used for code that is safe for the _same_ thread or process to execute concurrently, thus my confusion. Is the name "reentrant" appropriate here?
2. A couple years back I "simplified" the Mutex class for Windows. As a result, it actually works somewhat like the ReentrantMutex. Mea culpa.
