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
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.
