Mutex.init

Initializes a glib.Mutex so that it can be used.

This function is useful to initialize a mutex that has been allocated on the stack, or as part of a larger structure. It is not necessary to initialize a mutex that has been statically allocated.

typedef struct {
GMutex m;
...
} Blob;

Blob *b;

b = g_new (Blob, 1);
g_mutex_init (&b->m);

To undo the effect of Mutex.init when a mutex is no longer needed, use Mutex.clear.

Calling Mutex.init on an already initialized glib.Mutex leads to undefined behaviour.
