Threading

Since this is a C# board, I would imagine he would want to use the lock identifier instead of pinvoking pthread_mutex_lock() function. There is also a mutex class in the .NET framework.

So I guess I should only use pthread_mutex_trylock() and pthread_mutex_unlock() right?
and I need something like this for C#..

using the pthread_mutex_lock() and pthread_mutex_unlock() is just like a lock block.
e.g:

Code:

---

C: (pthread.h)
pthread_mutex_lock();
// some code
pthread_mutex_unlock();

C#: (System.Threading)
lock(...)
{
 // some code
}

BTW, someone had mentioned it but anyways...beware of deadlocks - they are sometimes really hard to recognize and can really drive you crazy.

Also note that the C# lock properly unlocks itself when an exception is cast, unlike if you'd translate that C-code directly to C#.
