Thank you Vicente for your reply.
If that was the case, however, then the error code would be EDEADLK and not
EINVAL.
Anyhow,
I was able to solve my problem 15 mins ago. It was an initialization error:
objects that had been freed were trying to access their mutex...
Sorry to bother you people.

Hello users.
I am running a single thread which locks and unlocks mutexes, and I get the following error: *
/usr/include/boost/thread/pthread/mutex.hpp:55: void boost::mutex::lock(): Assertion `!pthread_mutex_lock(&m)' failed,
*after a boost::shared_mutex::lock() or a boost::shared_mutex::try_lock().
I do realize that the information I provide in this email is little, but I, being new in boost::mutexes and having spent so much time on it, decided to give it a shot.
Hi,
this kind of error is quite common. It seems that you try to lock the mtx twice. Could you show the error when you have a try_lock? Do you use the RAII locks that ensure that lock/unlock are pairwise?
