MutexDestroy

Destroys a mutex once no thread is using it.

Syntax

Declare Sub MutexDestroy ( ByVal id As Any Ptr )

Parameters

• id

See MutexCreate for more general information on mutexes.

Remarks

Usage

MutexDestroy( id )

Dialect Differences

• Threading is not allowed in the -lang qb dialect.

Platform Differences

• The DOS version of FreeBASIC does not allow for threads, as the OS does not support them. In Linux the threads are always started in the order they are created, this can't be assumed in Win32. It's an OS, not a FreeBASIC issue.

Differences from QB

• New to FreeBASIC
