For investigation of locks in the emulator we use an internal tool called lcnt (short for lock-count). The VM needs to be compiled with this option enabled. + To compile a lock-counting VM along with a normal VM, use:

 cd $ERL_TOP
-./configure --enable-lock-counter
-
- -

- Another way to enable this alongside a normal VM is to compile it at emulator directory level, much like a debug build. To compile it this way do the following, -

- 
-cd $ERL_TOP/erts/emulator
-make lcnt FLAVOR=smp
-
-

and then starting Erlang with,

+./configure --enable-lock-counter +

Start the lock-counting VM like this:

-$ERL_TOP/bin/cerl -lcnt
-
-

To verify that you lock-counting enabled check that [lock-counting] appears in the status text when the VM is started.

+$ERL_TOP/bin/erl -emu_type lcnt +

To verify that lock counting is enabled check that [lock-counting] appears in the status text when the VM is started.
