How can I resolve a mutex deadlock in my application?

To resolve a mutex deadlock, you can use techniques like timeout, resource ordering, or deadlock detection algorithms.

Can you explain the resource ordering method?

Sure! Resource ordering involves assigning a global order to all resources and ensuring that threads acquire resources in that order.

What are some common signs of a deadlock?

Common signs include threads being stuck, high CPU usage with no progress, and threads waiting indefinitely for resources.

How can I implement a timeout for mutex locks?

You can implement a timeout by using functions that allow you to specify a maximum wait time for acquiring a mutex.
