You ignored the rest of my argument. Neither the right hand side or the
left hand side of the assignment involve a mutex that has ever been used
in any way by any function. It may be technically undefined by the POSIX
standard however I can not see any way that this can do any harm. I
challenge you to find an implementation in which what I did will cause a
problem, or for that matter an hypothetical implementation.
