Re: [Pharo-dev] [Vm-dev] Simple versus Recursive Mutexes

Hi Ben. 2016-02-04 18:16 GMT+01:00 Ben Coman <btc@openinworld.com>:

SimpleMutex>>critical: aBlock Processor activeProcess == owner ifTrue: [self error: 'recursive locks will kill you' ]. ^ super critical: aBlock

This can be easily implemented with current primitive (I use inverted version here): SimpleMutex>>critical: aBlock acquiredHere := lock acquire. acquiredHere ifFalse: [self error: 'recursive locks will kill you' ]. ... So what you want to change?
