What are some tips for debugging mutex queue issues?

When debugging mutex queue issues, start by checking for deadlocks. Ensure that all threads are properly acquiring and releasing mutexes.

How can I identify if there's a deadlock?

You can identify deadlocks by using tools like thread analyzers or by logging the state of each thread to see if they are waiting indefinitely.

What logging techniques do you recommend?

I recommend using structured logging to capture thread IDs, mutex states, and timestamps. This will help you trace the sequence of events.

Are there any common mistakes to avoid?

Yes, common mistakes include forgetting to unlock mutexes, using the wrong mutex for a shared resource, and not handling exceptions properly.
