Hi All ,

is there a debugger available to find which thread's are in DeadLock
when we have more than two critical section protected with muxtex?

How to come out of this condition ?

Thanks

Certainly, X-Ray for VRTX will do that for code running under VRTX. Of
course, although VRTX, although one of the early pioneering real time
operating systems, is not much used anymore. According to Wikipedia,
which should be taken with a grain of salt, VRTX runs the Hubble Space
Telescope.

Of course, if you are running on another platform and not VRTX, X-Ray
would not be of much use to you.

Since the C++ language does not define debuggers, mutexes, critical
sections, or deadlocks, all such things are specific to your operating
system and compiler, which provide them as extensions or support
tools.

So you need to ask this question in a newsgroup that supports your
compiler and operating system.

Judging by the headers on your post, you need to ask in a group like
news:comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32

Valgrind 3.3.0 has a tool called helgrind, which may do what you want, see
