Simultaneous use of mail-transmission, process-suspension,
and RIN-locking intrinsics
throughout a process structure can
result in a deadlock if the intrinsic calls are not synchronized
properly. Be aware of the following: In a multi-process job/session, whenever a process is suspended (through the SUSPEND intrinsic, or blocked, or when locking a RIN or receiving mail), MPE/iX does not determine whether all other processes in the process tree are suspended or blocked. Avoid this situation. An attempt by a process to lock a global RIN succeeds only if both of the following conditions are met: No other process within the job/session currently has locked this RIN. A global RIN cannot be used as a local RIN, because deadlock within the same job/session can occur. The calling process currently has no other global RIN locked for itself. This could otherwise result in deadlock between two jobs/sessions.
