[gdal-dev] Mutexes

[Andrew Bell]

Hi,

I'm looking at code in gdalwarpkernel.cpp and there are calls to
CPLAcquireMutex that take a "timeout" argument. From looking at
cpl_multiproc, on a non-windows system it seems the timeout is ignored, but
on WIN32 it is respected in the call, but the return value is generally
ignored, meaning that the subsequent code could run without the lock having
been acquired.

This seems like strange behavior. Is there a reason for the different
behavior on Windows and not-Windows? Am I missing something?

Thanks,
