Harbour Mutex

[lailton]

I have one question related to Mutex, to create a mutex:

pMutex := hb_mutexCreate()

now to release/destroy I dont see nothing in the core, is only pMutex := nil good enough to destroy it?

Why we don't have hb_mutexDestroy( pMutex ) or hb_mutexRelease( pMutex )

Another question is, if I locked a mutex, Are there any way to verify it using the pMutex only?

function main()

	local pMutex := hb_mutexCreate()
	
	hb_threadStart( @test1(), pMutex )
	hb_threadStart( @test2(), pMutex )

	hb_threadWaitForAll()
	
	pMutex := nil // <-- Is it enough to destroy mutex? why not some hb_mutexRelease( pMutex ) or hb_mutexDestroy( pMutex )

return nil

function test1( pMutex )

	? "Lock"
	hb_mutexLock( pMutex )
	
	hb_idleSleep( 15 )
	
	hb_mutexUnlock( pMutex )
	? "UnLock"

return nil

function test2( pMutex )

	// How to do something like?

	/*
		if hb_mutexIsLocked( pMutex )
	
			? "Mutex is Locked..."
			return nil
	
		endif
	
		
		// is not locked, so do something...
	
	*/
	
return nil

And finally, are there any DOC about it:

hb_mutexNotify
hb_mutexNotifyAll
hb_mutexQueueInfo
hb_mutexSubscribe
hb_mutexSubscribeNow

?

Thanks
