Recursive mutexes in glib

[Bertrand Guiheneuf <bertrand guiheneuf inria fr>]

Hi everyone,

I use glib-thread in a library I am writing. Unfortunately, glib
does not allow recursive mutexes. As I do not have Solaris, or other
non-linux system,
I was wondering if this was because it was hard to implement
(as it is very easy with posix threads)

Is there any obvious (portable) replacement to the recursive mechanism?

Thanks a lot.

    Bertrand.
