33        // a Mutex where re-locking is UB.

39        // other threads since the transactional memory will abort if a conflict
40        // is detected, however no abort is generated when re-locking from the
41        // same thread.
42        //

44        // references, we instead create the mutex with type
45        // PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL which is guaranteed to deadlock if we try to
