I just wanted to ask and see if anyone here has heard of > pthread_mutex_trylock() prematurely giving up a timeslice and so far Realtime aside, implementations of pthread_mutex_trylock() are allowed to give up a time slice. If you really think that that is a problem for your code then use C/C++ atomics to implement your own mutex with trylock() not giving up a timeslice: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2004/05/65435.php (auto_reset_event is a binary semaphore in posix speak) regards, alexander.
