Change the order to match the order in g_thread_create().

2001-02-23  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

	* gthread.h (struct _GThread): Change the order to match the order
	in g_thread_create().

	* gthread.c (g_static_rec_mutex_lock_full): Also do the right
	thing (behave like 'depth' calls to g_static_rec_mutex_lock) for a
	mutex, that is already locked.

	* glib/tmpl/threads.sgml: Big update. Almost ready.

	* glib/tmpl/async_queues.sgml: Typo.

	* glib/glib-sections.txt: Added g_static_rec_mutex_init,
	g_static_rec_mutex_free, g_static_rw_lock_init,
	g_static_private_init and g_static_private_free.

	* glib/glib-overrides.txt: Added g_thread_yield and g_thread_exit.

A #GStaticRecMutex works like a #GStaticMutex, but it can be locked
multiple times by one thread. If you enter it n times, however, you
have to unlock it n times again to let other threads lock it. An
exception is the function g_static_rec_mutex_unlock_full(), that
allows you to unlock a #GStaticRecMutex completely returning the depth,
i.e. the number of times this mutex was locked. The depth can later be
used to restore the state by calling g_static_rec_mutex_lock_full().

Completely unlocks @mutex. If another thread is blocked in a

@mutex has been locked by the current thread. To restore the state
before the call to g_static_rec_mutex_unlock_full() you can call
g_static_rec_mutex_lock_full() with the depth returned by this
function.
