I'll appreciate it very much if you could give me a tip with the problem below.

thisClass.cpp is now complied with "clr", so < mutex > is not any more allowed!
I have replaced mutex with new msclr/lock.h, but cannot give the lock a managed object, since this is an unmanaged object!

C++

#include "thisClass.h"
// #include < mutex >
#include < msclr/lock.h >

// std::mutex mutexLock;


void * thisClass::fo(){
      // mutexLock.lock();
      lock l(this);   <<<<< this is not Ok, since "this" is an unmanaged object!!!

      :::::
                                   
     // mutexLock.unlock();    

}

Not a nice solution but I decided to give an empty managed object to the class. It seems to function, but to me a strange solution!

Is there a better way? Could I avoid repeated "gcnew somehow!"?

C++

#include < msclr/lock.h >

using namespace msclr;    // << added missing namespace

ref class lockRef{
    static lockRef^ _lockRef;
}

void * thisClass::fo(){
  lockRef^ x = gcnew lockRef();  // <<  outside definitions were flagged as error!!!
  lock l(x)
  :::::
}
