- What happens when a thread locks a mutex and then starts another thread? Does the new thread in any way inherit the lock, or will it have to acquire its own? - What about spin locks? Are there any semantic differences between mutexes and spin locks in POSIX, or are spin locks simply mutexes that spin instead of sleeping? DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=F8rgrav - des@des.no
