Makes no sense at all. Have you taken a look at my multex? It can create 
a shit lod of mutexes, and never deadlock. It keeps a strict locking 
order. Sorts and dedups the mutexes. Also, notice that an object does 
not need its own mutex:





So, I have the most recent version and coded up my old multex algo. It 
100% dead lock free and allows a thread to locks multiple objects in any 
order and lock them. All of the lock ordering is taken care of in the 
finalize function. Basically a thread seeds its per thread lock indices 
with addresses to objects it wants to lock. Calls finalize, then locks 
them. Does its thing and then unlocks them. Fwiw, here is my Relacy test 
output:

struct ct_multex_relacy_test_v000

WTF has your multex got to do with anything? No one was talking about your

It uses a table of a lot of mutexes. Never deadlocks. So, you need to 
study up? You said "too many critical sections with too many locks."

Well, if you don't know how to use them, don't use them. Learn first?

I have no desire to spend hours trawling through someones pet project so they

It tends to be somewhat easy to get lost in misunderstandings even when
using the very same language. So, if you're discussing threads and/or
processes, explaining what do you mean by these two concepts at least
ensures there's one less source of potential misunderstandings. With
that in account, it's less than stellar not to answer. And then kind of
pulling rank to do so...

Actually, implementing C++11 (or C11) threads fully in user space on
pre-Vista Win32 (i.e. before addition of support for conditional
variables to OS API) would be quite challenging. I don't know if
anybody bothered.
I think that it is possible, but if you want it robust then it (cond.
variables) will cost you significant overhead relatively to "native"
synchronization primitives.

I tried to do a little something, no atomics, but, since I am able to 
access comp.lang.c++ agai, lets see if I can find it:

C++ threading didn't have 3 level locking until 2017 making it effectively 
useless IMO. Perhaps that was down to the lowest common denominator called 
Windows.

Mind defining your terminology?   "3 level locking", in particular?

Assigning a canonical "lock number" to each lock, and failing a lock
request for a lock with a lower number than that already held is
a design pattern that has been around since 1980 (in Burroughs
mainframes it was implemented in hardware).   Easy enough to do
prior to C++17 in software.

And your assertion that a language that doesn't support it intrinsically
is "useless" is ridiculous.

If you have to ask....

1. No lock
2. Write lock - Read only access, writer blocked until all readers out of critic
al section)
3. Read-write lock  - all threads other than the one in section block)

This is basic stuff FFS. C++ finally got around to #2 with shared_mutex in
2017 and its rather critical for certain algorithms.

Thats something else entirely.

Not useless then, just less useful.

Windows got Slim Reader/Writer Locks in Vista (2006-11) at the same
time as conditional variables. 5 years before C++11.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/sync/slim-reader-writer--srw--locks
Of course WinXP remained popular for few more years, approximately up
until 2nd half of 2010, but that too predates publication of C++11 in
2011-09.

I never ever used what you call "3 level locking", not even by mistake.
But then, I don't write complicated apps on "big" computers day in day
out.

Still don't really know what he means by 3 level locking. Using lock 
hashing where an address is hashed into a lock index such that no object 
needs its own lock is nothing new. But it needs to be sorted and deduped.

He explained it in the post above.
It seem that he mistyped few things in explanation, but it is possible
to understand intentions. He is talking about std::shared_mutex.

Ahhh! I call that a read/write mutex. Okay.

And unix got pthreads in 1995. Windows a decade late as usual.

Fine, most people will never use it, but for certain things its vital.

Its simple, if you don't like windows, do use the damn pile.

That's like if I'd say that Linux is 33 years (and counting) late
because it has no QueueUserAPC(). Of course, I am smarter than saying
such nonsense.

More relevantly, Windows (Win32) has preemptive kernel-scheduled threads
+ assortment of synchronization primitives since very beginning (1993)
  -  ahead of many Unixen and behind some of them. Certainly ahead of
  Posix standardisation of threads.

Wow, pre-emptive multitasking in 1993. Incredible technology!
