CreateMutex replacment using pthread_mutex ?

[afail]

Hello, I am developing a Qt application which needs to lock its critical data from accesing on different instances. Thus I implement the singleton concept and I needed more low-level way to create Mutex and lock the access of critical data.

For the QT_WS_WIN scope I use:

QT_WA(
   {m_hMutex=CreateMutex(0, FALSE, (TCHAR*)id().utf16());},
   {m_hMutex=CreateMutexA(0, FALSE, id().toLocal8Bit().data());}
  );
  switch(WaitForSingleObject(m_hMutex, INFINITE))
  {
  case WAIT_TIMEOUT:
   CloseHandle(m_hMutex);
   m_hMutex = 0;
   break;
  }

QT_WA(
   {m_hMutex=CreateMutex(0, FALSE, (TCHAR*)id().utf16());},
   {m_hMutex=CreateMutexA(0, FALSE, id().toLocal8Bit().data());}
  );
  switch(WaitForSingleObject(m_hMutex, INFINITE))
  {
  case WAIT_TIMEOUT:
   CloseHandle(m_hMutex);
   m_hMutex = 0;
   break;
  }

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

And for QT_WS_X11 I use:

pthread_mutex_t *mutex;
pthread_mutexattr_t *attr;
// initialize them with their _init methods

pthread_mutex_t *mutex;
pthread_mutexattr_t *attr;
// initialize them with their _init methods

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and then

pthread_mutex_lock(mutex);
// critical data
pthread_mutex_unlock(mutex);

pthread_mutex_lock(mutex);
// critical data
pthread_mutex_unlock(mutex);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Whatsoever, the result is not as expected. For Windows the above method works well, but using the posix way, with pthread_mutex, the locking is not done as it is supposed. I think it might be related to the way the Mutex for Win32 is identified within the QT_WA macro.

Any help for finding the best replacement would be appreciated.

thanks
