Re: temporary disable thread switching using pthreads

I am looking for a possibility to disable the thread switching for the
current process temporarily. This is a very simple way to build mutual
exclusive sections, without the need to protect the access to common
objects by mutexes everywhere in the code.

Pthreads do not and cannot work that way. Use locks to protect the
data. How would disabling thread switching help if other threads are
currently running already?
