Problem with IceUtil::Mutex

I have a problem with IceUtil::Mutex. The method lock() thows ThreadSyscallException(). Going inside the method, I found that pthread_mutex_lock(&_mutex) returns error code 22.
It happens when my program have been executed for a while. My use of mutex is so simple that I can't figure out what is wrong. Please help me!

Regards,
Anhpnt

    Hi,

    Which platform/Ice version do you use?

    On supported platforms, this error typically indicates a memory management problem: you're trying to lock a mutex which has been destroyed.

    Cheers,
    Benoit.
  • I'm sorry, I don't know how to get os and Ice current version?
    My mutex variable is global. How can it be destroyed?

    Hi,

    You can find the Ice version you're using by checking the ICE_STRING_VERSION macro in the "IceUtil/Config.h" header file. On Unix platforms, "uname -a" should tell you which operating system you're using.

    Without more information on your application, it's difficult to say what could be the cause of this exception... a memory management problem is often the cause of this error but it could also be something else. Can you perhaps reproduce it with a small test case that you post here?

    Cheers,
    Benoit.
