Is there a tool to monitor synchronisation objects (mutex, events, semaphores) in Windows?
Handle usage: handle -s ==> Print count of each type of handle open.
[EDIT]:
How to monitor the status of process synchronization objects using Process Explorer.
Open Process Explorer
- Click on your exe in the process section (for ex: MyApp.exe)
- Click
Show Lower Pane(or pressCtrl+L). This will show all synchronization objects. (for ex: myEvent) - Right click on synchronizationobject (for ex: myEvent) and clickProperties... in context menu.
This brings the details of the synchronization object.In the
Detailstab, you can seeEvent Info(if synch object is event): Gives information about thestate (whether the synchronization object is signaled)Semaphore info(if synch object is semaphore):Provides the count of the semaphore.
Take a look at Intel's ThreadChecker and Parallel Studio. Most of their tools sit on top of Visual Studio.

Thread Validator does what you are describing.
Monitor threads, status of locks, individual thread objects. Much faster than Intel's Thread Checker, but different level of detail.
