lock

lock

• ACE Inline Expansion*

Lock the module's mutex.

Provides support for an automatic global-level mutex.

This mutex is recursive, so may be locked multiple times in the same thread without blocking. You must call $unlock() an equal number of times to give other threads access.

The mutex is initialized after "load-first" blocks, and may not be accessed in load-first blocks. It is destroyed before "unload-last" blocks, and may not be accessed in unload-last blocks.

Valid Syntax

• $lock()
