Package: mutextrace (0.1.4-1)

Lock debugging tool

This tool displays mutexes locked and unlocked during execution of a program, and can provide hints for debugging multithreaded applications. As it is fairly lightweight and easy to use, it is ideal at the start of a debugging session or when only limited resources are available.

It cannot detect data races as it only looks at the synchronisation primitives themselves; if you need that, use helgrind (in the valgrind package) instead.
