.SS "#define IN_EXC_MSG(msg)   (std::string(__PRETTY_FUNCTION__) + ': ' + msg)"
.PP
Helper macro for creating exception messages. 
.PP
It prepends the message by the function name. 
.SS "#define IN_LOCK_DECL"
.PP
inotify-cxx thread safety 
.PP
If this symbol is defined you can use this interface safely threaded applications. Remember that it slightly degrades performance.
.PP
Even if INOTIFY_THREAD_SAFE is defined some classes stay unsafe. If you must use them (must you?) in more than one thread concurrently you need to implement explicite locking.
.PP
You need not to define INOTIFY_THREAD_SAFE in that cases where the application is multithreaded but all the inotify infrastructure will be managed only in one thread. This is the recommended way.
.PP
Locking may fail (it is very rare but not impossible). In this case an exception is thrown. But if unlocking fails in case of an error it does nothing (this failure is ignored).
