Represents a mutex (mutual exclusion). 
It can be used to protect data against shared access. Try to use Mutex::Lock instead of calling lock() and unlock() directly – it will make your life much easier.
- Note
- Glib::Threads::Mutex is not recursive, i.e. a thread will deadlock, if it already has locked the mutex while calling lock(). Use Glib::Threads::RecMutex instead, if you need recursive mutexes.
- Deprecated:
- Please use std::mutex instead.

Locks the mutex. 
If mutex is already locked by another thread, the current thread will block until mutex is unlocked by the other thread.

Tries to lock the mutex. 
If the mutex is already locked by another thread, it immediately returns false. Otherwise it locks the mutex and returns true. 
- Returns
- Whether the mutex could be locked.

          | void Glib::Threads::Mutex::unlock | ( |  | ) |  | 
      
 
Unlocks the mutex. 
If another thread is blocked in a lock() call for this mutex, it will be woken and can lock the mutex itself.
