|
A synchronization mutex (mutual exclusion). This is used to synchronize multiple [Thread]s, and is equivalent to a binary [Semaphore]. It guarantees that only one thread can ever acquire the lock at a time. A mutex can be used to protect a critical section; however, be careful to avoid deadlocks.

Tries locking this [Mutex], but does not block. Returns [code]true[/code] on success, [code]false[/code] otherwise.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] This function returns [constant OK] if the thread already has ownership of the mutex.

|
Unlocks this [Mutex], leaving it to other threads.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] If a thread called [method lock] or [method try_lock] multiple times while already having ownership of the mutex, it must also call [method unlock] the same number of times in order to unlock it correctly.
