Sorry, I was not clear in my previous post: pthread_mutex_consistent() is exactly what I need. I can not see the additional complexity, could you please give me a hint for some research on the matter? If the issue is only related to how actually recover a consistent state in the data protected by the mutex, then I have ways to deal with that, for my specific application at least: I was thinking of storing a function object in my cache-mutex that would notify higher level code of the issue and start the recovery procedure for the data since I have redundancy. And, if worst comes to worst, I can also afford to "discard" the computations performed by the thread accessing the mutex until its content is marked as good by the higher level code.

If there is none, I would really need to modify your files for my project to work, and I would appreciate if you could confirm a couple of things for me. In http://stackoverflow.com/a/1179766/4598277 it is mentioned to modify two files: 1. posix/thread_helpers.hpp to set the attribute (first time ever I was happy to get an exception :D) 2. posix/mutex.hpp to handle the EOWNERDEAD return value Can you please confirm if this would be enough? It would seem so to me, but I have only studied parts of your code.
Thank you for the assistance.
I think that would be a start point. If you need something like pthread_mutex_consistent() then things start to complicate.
