<h2>Mutexes can be named to aid in application debug</h2>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>The i5/OS threads support of mutexes allows the application to name
|
||
|
mutexes. Named mutexes can be used to aid in problem determination. The
|
||
|
performance and behavioral characteristics of named mutexes are identicle to
|
||
|
normal mutexes.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>When an application is using mutexes and has deadlocked, you may be able to
|
||
|
determine which mutexes are being used by the application more easily if the
|
||
|
mutexes being used are named.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>You can use the <strong>DSPJOB</strong> CL command to help debug the
|
||
|
application. From <strong>DSPJOB</strong>, choose option <strong>19 - Display
|
||
|
mutexes, if active</strong> or option <strong>20 - Display threads, if
|
||
|
active</strong> to view the mutexes and threads being used by the
|
||
|
application.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
Attributes Object</a> and <a href="users_51.htm">
|
||
|
pthread_mutexattr_getname_np()--Get Name from Mutex Attributes Object</a> if
|
||
|
you would like to use named mutexes in your application.</p>
