PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER Macro
Purpose
Initializes a static mutex with default attributes.
Library
Threads Library (libpthreads.a)
Syntax
#include <pthread.h>static pthread_mutex_t mutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;Description
The PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER macro initializes the static mutex mutex, setting its attributes to default values. This macro should only be used for static mutexes, as no error checking is performed.
Note: The pthread.h header file must be the
first included file of each source file using the threads library.
Otherwise, the -D_THREAD_SAFE compilation flag should be used,
or the cc_r compiler used. In this case, the flag is automatically
set.
