[vlc-devel] [PATCH] darwin/thread: Ignore vlc_mutex_unlock failures

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

There are many potential alternatives of varying complexity and applicability, the most obvious (but neither least complex, nor most generic) being what we already do on some other platforms.

But I am disgusted by somebody else's attitude, so I will leave it at that. Go ahead and merge this nonsense. Why should I care about a platform where you get attacked for daring to question hacks?
