Hi all,
I have a scenario where I need to use the mutex locks. The mutex locks are working fine, but sometimes I am getting into the dead lock situation.
Below is the summary of my code :
MUTEX LOCK
performTask();
MUTEX UNLOCK.
In some cases I get into the situation where the thread is hung at performTask() function and never returns. When this happens the other threads which are waiting are blocked.
Please let me how can I kill the thread which is hung at performTask() function. Apart from using timed Mutex, is there a way I can return from performTask() function after waiting for a specified time?.
THanks
Joy
