Public Attributes
int	__type
	PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL / DEFAULT / RECURSIVE / ERRORCHECK.

Detailed Description

Mutex attributes.

Note

PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL / DEFAULT, PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE and PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK are supported. The underlying stk::sync::Mutex is always recursive, so PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL behaves like PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE (POSIX leaves relocking a NORMAL mutex undefined, so this is conforming). Behavior per type:

• NORMAL/DEFAULT, RECURSIVE: relocking by the owner succeeds and must be balanced by the same number of unlocks (maximum depth stk::sync::Mutex::RECURSION_MAX, then EAGAIN).
• ERRORCHECK: relocking by the owner returns EDEADLK (trylock: EBUSY).
• all types: unlocking a mutex not owned by the caller returns EPERM.
