GMutex*  gobj () Detailed Description Represents a mutex (mutual exclusion). It can be used to protect data against shared access. Try to use Mutex::Lock instead of calling lock() and unlock() directly -- it will make your life much easier. Note: Before creating a Glib::Mutex, Glib::thread_init() has to be called. Glib::Mutex is not recursive, i.e. a thread will deadlock, if it already has locked the mutex while calling lock(). Use Glib::RecMutex instead, if you need recursive mutexes. Examples: thread/thread.cc. Constructor & Destructor Documentation Glib::Mutex::Mutex (   )  Glib::Mutex::~Mutex (   )  Member Function Documentation GMutex* Glib::Mutex::gobj (   )  [inline] void Glib::Mutex::lock (   )    Locks the mutex. If mutex is already locked by another thread, the current thread will block until mutex is unlocked by the other thread. See also: Mutex::Lock bool Glib::Mutex::trylock (   )    Tries to lock the mutex. If the mutex is already locked by another thread, it immediately returns false. Otherwise it locks the mutex and returns true. Returns: Whether the mutex could be locked. See also: Mutex::Lock void Glib::Mutex::unlock (   )    Unlocks the mutex. If another thread is blocked in a lock() call for this mutex, it will be woken and can lock the mutex itself.
