Is a CRITICAL_SECTION "posix-safe"? A HMUTEX?
I have no idea.
Hm. It'd be useful to know whether your swap-based mutex >= CRITICAL_SECTION (minus the recursivity, of course).
It'd be useful to have authoritative pseudo-code of their implementations (I mean all windows versions/service-packs/whatever). We could analyze it, then. Again, you could easily make swap-based mutex "posix safe" via indirection and reuse of impl. The race with respect to the state of auto-reset event and impl reuse is harmless. regards, alexander.
