with-locked-object

Arguments: (object &key type block non-smp typecheck) &body body

This macro expands into code that waits until the executing process acquires control of the object, then evaluates the forms in the body as an implicit progn. It then releases control of the object and returns whatever values the last form in the body returned.

The arguments are:

It is not an error for a process that already owns an object to try to lock it again. When this happens, the object is not released until the outermost lock form is exited.

The release of the object is performed in an unwind-protect cleanup form, so non-local exits from body are allowed.

See smp.htm and multiprocessing.htm for more information on this macro and on multiprocessing.
