What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A Go library providing drop-in replacements for sync.Mutex and sync.RWMutex that detect deadlocks at runtime. It records lock ordering per goroutine and reports violations or long lock waits with stack traces.

Use cases

  • detect deadlocks in go programs
  • find inconsistent mutex lock ordering
  • debug goroutines stuck waiting on a lock
  • replace sync.Mutex with a deadlock-aware mutex
  • catch duplicate locking in the same goroutine

When to avoid

  • your synchronization relies on channels rather than mutexes
  • you cannot tolerate the runtime overhead in production
  • locks are passed across goroutine boundaries, which defeats detection
