MapleMutexUnlock
unlock a mutex
Calling Sequence
Parameters
Description
Examples
MapleMutexUnlock( kv, mutex );
kv
-
kernel handle of type MKernelVector
mutex
a mutex identifier (ALGEB)
MapleMutexUnlock unlocks a mutex. This allows another thread to lock the mutex. If other threads are attempting to obtain the lock, one will acquire the lock, and the others will continue waiting.
To obtain the lock on a mutex, use the MapleMutexLock function.
A mutex can be created in external call using the MapleMutexCreate function.
The mutex identifier used by MapleMutexUnlock is compatible with the functions in the Threads[Mutex] package. Thus mutexes created by Threads[Mutex][Create] can be passed into external call, and used by MapleMutexLock and MapleMutexUnlock.
#include "maplec.h"
ALGEB M_DECL ParallelFunction( MKernelVector kv, ALGEB mutex, ALGEB args )
{
ALGEB ret;
ret = CriticalSection( kv, args );
return ret;
