- Subject: How many locks have I left lying around?
- Date: 25 Mar 86 15:38:46 GMT

- Lines: 215
- Keywords: AmigaDOS, locks, resource allocation/management

- The following piece of code is something I cooked up in order to check if
- I was unlocking all my filesystem locks in my current project. I use it
- with AvailMem (Avail?, I forget at the moment...) and Frags to ensure that
- my code isn't slowly dribbling away pieces of the system.
-
- It's a rather offbeat way of doing it, but I thought I'd post it to the net
- for 2 reasons:
- 1. Somebody might find it useful.
- 2. Somebody might suggest a better way of doing it! I'm not
- overly happy with this approach.
-
- It works most OK of the time, but once in a blue moon the system will
- request that my boot volume get re-mounted before I get around to analyzing
- its DeviceList entries. No harm done, LockMon will just report it as mounted.
-
- Yours in Amiga-ing,
