87// There are 2 types of mutexes: normal mutexes and recursive ones. The attempt
88// to lock a normal mutex by a thread which already owns it results in
89// undefined behaviour (it always works under Windows, it will almost always
90// result in a deadlock under Unix). Locking a recursive mutex in such
91// situation always succeeds and it must be unlocked as many times as it has
92// been locked.
93//
94// However recursive mutexes have several important drawbacks: first, in the
95// POSIX implementation, they're less efficient. Second, and more importantly,
96// they CAN NOT BE USED WITH CONDITION VARIABLES under Unix! Using them with
97// wxCondition will work under Windows and some Unices (notably Linux) but will
98// deadlock under other Unix versions (e.g. Solaris). As it might be difficult
99// to ensure that a recursive mutex is not used with wxCondition, it is a good
100// idea to avoid using recursive mutexes at all. Also, the last problem with
101// them is that some (older) Unix versions don't support this at all -- which
102// results in a configure warning when building and a deadlock when using them.
