None of it is LLM generated. You seem to fundamentally not understand how the system outlined in the blog post works and how it prevents deadlocks by construction (ie it’s impossible to write any program that deadlocks if the only mutexes used are from this library). You also seem to lack the appropriate terminology to describe what your concern is and use terminology in a way that belies either ignorance or fundamental misunderstanding of what words mean. So you lash out claiming my 100% human written comment is LLM as a way to distract from said ignorance.

I’ve tried to illuminate your ignorance for you but unfortunately I can’t do your thinking for you.

What I can do is recommend you try to write out the scenario you believe can create a deadlock and maybe then you’ll understand why it’s not possible and maybe my words will make a little bit more sense. If alternatively you succeed you can open an issue on the author’s open source library and create a blog post explaining their mistake. But until then you’re just unhappy you don’t understand and aren’t doing any being willful to remain uninformed.
