[vlc-devel] commit: Do NOT destroy the "libvlc"/global/bank/whatever lock variable. ( Rémi Denis-Courmont )

[git version control]

vlc | branch: master | Rémi Denis-Courmont <rem at videolan.org> | Sun Mar 30 17:05:55 2008 +0300| [e4e9182903c4915dd0c1e73eff6b325f0d3be54d]

Do NOT destroy the "libvlc"/global/bank/whatever lock variable.

The whole point of a global lock is that it is... global. Destroying it
every time it's released is severe brain damage, as we end up taking a
different lock all the time (or worse destroying the lock while another
threads is competing for it).
