<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">I would like to understand statically initialized mutex and condition variables better, in particular: can I move them around in memory (assuming all the ULTs in my code have a consistent way
of locating them)?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">This would come up in C++ containers, for instance:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">std::vector<</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">ABT_mutex_memory>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">If I increase the size of the vector, reallocation may take place, and the existing mutexes will be moved somewhere else in memory. Assuming all the ULTs are accessing them by their
index in the vector rather than by an ABT_mutex opaque pointer, then this should be fine as long as I am allowed to move ABT_mutex_memory around (regardless of their state). Is that the case?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
