Re: [4diac-dev] [FORTE] Remove recursive mutex requirement on win32 and possix
|
Hi,
I support the solution, as it fixes the mentioned bug. The bug is quite annoying, as it is non-deterministic and took me some time to understand, that my code changes did not cause the strange FORTE start/stop or FORTE start/seg fault scenarios.
As far as I am concerned, I would not be aware of, that I would need recursive mutexes.
Best regards,
Martin

I found that by moving the joing code into base class the FORTE behavior on all platforms and simplifying porting FORTE to new platforms. However in order to get a thread save behavior of the join i would need to remove the recursive mutex property. Recursive mutex means that one thread can acquire the same mutex more then once. I did a code review on all mutex uses in FORTE and in the public code we currently don't need recursive mutexes. But to be sure I wanted to check here if there is anybody needing recursive mutexes.
