Add QMutex APIs to completely unlock and relock a recursive mutex

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      This would allow doing something like

      // in Thread A:
      int lockDepth = myMutex.unlockRecursive();
      mySemaphore.acquire(); // Wait for thread B to access threadA and to release the semaphore
      myMutex.lockRecursive(lockDepth);

      Since the thread A method called by thread B will lock and unlock the mutex as well it is required to completely unlock the mutex first, which right now is difficult to implement.
