Dear all,

does anybody know if there is a possibility to check if a mutex is locked?
There is an 'owns_lock' on the lock type but not on the mutex. 

The main use case for me is debugging (and documentation) purposes:

void MyClass::Process()
{
   boost::unique_lock<boost::mutex> lck(m_mtx);

   ProcessImpl(); 
}

void MyClass::ProcessImpl()
{
   _ASSERT(m_mtx.is_locked());  //does not exist :(
}
