Thread passing execution?

[Incubbus]

Hey...

got a short question about threading...

when i want a thread to wait for a particular thing, and i made it waiting for a mutex that is locked...will the thread still get its original time of execution, or will the scheduler pass its execution to another thread?

or do i have to manually give it away?(possible with an function)

the third method preferrable, because its better controlled?...

The thread relinquishes the cpu automatically when in blocks on the mutex.
