I propose to add optional parameter to the function LockMutex and WaitSemaphore. The parameter "Timeout" sets the wait object.
If the object is received, function returns #True.
Or #False, if the exit the timeout.

Locked is locked,

you want to check, use TryLockMutex(Mutex) or TrySemaphore(Semaphore).

This option will not work, because in the program, the mutex is locked most of the time and only for a moment, unlock. Therefore, the timeout should be counted at the system level, not the application.

In addition, exit on timeout to avoid a deadlock flows.

User_Russian, I find myself wondering under what conditions your mutex would be locked most of the time. It almost seems counter-intuitive.
