Releasing a buffer in min-devkit

Hi all,

I have an external that accesses a buffer and returns all the values as a list.

I understand that I lock the buffer at the start of my process using the buffer_lock template, but do I need to unlock the buffer afterwards? What are best practices for thread safety in a message that deals with a buffer in any way?

Sample code of said buffer access is provided :)

    message<> bang {this, "bang", "Get values from buffer as a list.",
        MIN_FUNCTION {
            buffer_lock<> b(buffer); // Lock the buffer

if (b.valid()) { // If the buffer is valid
                number frames = b.frame_count();
                atoms values(frames);
// auto chan = std::min<size_t>(channel - 1, b.channel_count()); // Channel


// Loop over the samples
for (auto i = 0; i < frames; i++) {
values[i] = b.lookup(i, 0);
}
list_out.send(values);
}
return {};
}
};
