Sun WorkShop: LockLint 2.2 README ============================================================================= Introduction: LockLint 2.2 extends the WorkShop development tools and compiler with support for development of MP/MT (multiprocessing/multithreaded) applications. LockLint performs a static analysis of the use of mutex and multiple readers/single writer locks, and looks for inconsistent use of these locking techniques. In looking for consistent use of locks, LockLint detects the most common cause of data races and deadlocks: the failure to hold the appropriate lock while accessing a shared variable. LockLint 2.2 is included in the following Sun Workshop products: Sun Visual WorkShop C++ Sun Performance WorkShop Fortran Sun Professional WorkShop C ____________________________________________________________________________ Table of Contents : A.
