Hi Ingo,
in r25690 you wrote that you replace benaphores by mutexes. What is the
different between a benaphore and a mutex. I read the be newsletter about
benaphores:
http://www.beatjapan.org/mirror/www.be.com/aboutbe/benewsletter/Issue26.html
short: benaphores are a combination of a semaphore and a atomic variable,
faster if there's a lot of contention for the critical section
But I can't really find a definition of a mutex. Could you explain what
mutex means in haiku?
thanks
Clemens
