Member Function Documentation

sal_Bool osl::Mutex::acquire

(

)

[inline]

Acquire the mutex, block if already acquired by another thread.

Returns:

sal_False if system-call fails. osl_acquireMutex()

static Mutex* osl::Mutex::getGlobalMutex

(

)

[inline, static]

Returns a global static mutex object.

The global and static mutex object can be used to initialize other static objects in a thread safe manner.

Returns:

the global mutex object osl_getGlobalMutex()

sal_Bool osl::Mutex::release

(

)

[inline]

Release the mutex.

Returns:

sal_False if system-call fails. osl_releaseMutex()

sal_Bool osl::Mutex::tryToAcquire

(

)

[inline]
