7 /* What SSL really wants is portable process-shared unnamed mutexes in
8 * shared memory, that have the property that if the process that holds
9 * them dies, they are released automatically, and that (unlike fcntl
10 * record locking) lock to the thread, not to the process.
11 * NSPR doesn't provide that.
12 * Windows has mutexes that meet that description, but they're not portable.
13 * POSIX mutexes are not automatically released when the holder dies,
14 * and other processes/threads cannot release the mutex on behalf of the
16 * POSIX semaphores can be used to accomplish this on systems that implement
17 * process-shared unnamed POSIX semaphores, because a watchdog thread can
18 * discover and release semaphores that were held by a dead process.
19 * On systems that do not support process-shared POSIX unnamed semaphores,
20 * they can be emulated using pipes.
21 * The performance cost of doing that is not yet measured.
23 * So, this API looks a lot like POSIX pthread mutexes.
