This is something I've been wanting in D for quite a few years
now.
Static analysis for mutex locking on variables.
Here is the clang documentation for it:
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSafetyAnalysis.html
And the article on the Linux use of it:

I'll continue to explore it after the DFA language features work
has been completed. This is currently waiting on some feedback
from Walter for a requirements document scope.
