Using a mutex in a single thread

by Daniel Buckmaster · in Torque 3D Professional · 03/29/2012 (8:03 pm) · 1 replies

Is it possible to make use of a Mutex to 'synchronise' methods that should be non-reentrant within a single thread? I can't find any proper documentation on the Mutex class, but from what I understand a call to lock() will not allow a thread to continue execution if the mutex is locked (the thread will wait until it's unlocked).
