Description Mina Galić 2012-03-28 13:35:52 UTC
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#mutex claims httpd -V will print the default (optimal) Mutex for this platform, however it does not:

Comment 1 Jeff Trawick 2012-03-28 15:56:17 UTC
This is what it is referring to -- APR's default for the current platform.
-D APR_USE_SYSVSEM_SERIALIZE
-D APR_USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE
(Please don't say you want it in an understandable format :) )
Did I miss your point?
Comment 2 Mina Galić 2012-03-29 22:26:29 UTC
I'd suggest we extend the documentation to say:

look for APR_USE_.*?_SERIALIZE

Anyway, those are *two* -- which is the default? The optimal thingy for this platform of mine?
Comment 3 Jeff Trawick 2012-03-30 00:02:56 UTC
>Anyway, those are *two* -- which is the default?
One is the default for cross-process mutexes while the other is the default (and in fact only implementation) for intra-process mutexes.
.
I doubt that this geeky stuff from -V should really be pointed to by that particular doc...
