find if two threads are trying to operate on a same mutex?

[deepth...@gmail.com]

Hi All,


It would be of great help if someone could tell me how to find if two threads are trying to operate on a same mutex?

I also want to find the entire communication that happens with respect to locks while the program is being run,

I came to know about this forum from some researcher. any inputs will be of immense help.


Regards,
Deepthi

The search term you're looking for is "mutex contention".

The answer depends entirely on your operating environment. Windows? Linux? FreeBSD? MVS?

Assuming something UNIX-like, valgrind is your friend. Inside a dog, it's too dark to read.
