c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * IPRT now has a sophisticated system of run-time locking classes to validate
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * locking order. Since the Main code is handled by simpler minds, we want
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * compile-time constants for simplicity, and we'll look up the run-time classes
9040f019271f91b98e1320c0a8c38a42636e3979vboxsync * in AutoLock.cpp transparently. These are passed to the constructors of the

c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * Abstract base class for semaphore handles (RWLockHandle and WriteLockHandle).
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * Don't use this directly, but this implements lock validation for them.
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * Returns @c true if the current thread holds a write lock on this
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * read/write semaphore. Intended for debugging only.
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync virtual bool isWriteLockOnCurrentThread() const = 0;
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * Returns the current write lock level of this semaphore. The lock level
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * determines the number of nested #lock() calls on the given semaphore
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * Note that this call is valid only when the current thread owns a write
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * lock on the given semaphore handle and will assert otherwise.
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync // prohibit copy + assignment
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * Full-featured read/write semaphore handle implementation.
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * This is an auxiliary base class for classes that need full-featured
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * read/write locking as described in the AutoWriteLock class documentation.
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * Instances of classes inherited from this class can be passed as arguments to
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * the AutoWriteLock and AutoReadLock constructors.
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * Write-only semaphore handle implementation.
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * This is an auxiliary base class for classes that need write-only (exclusive)
7eaaa8a4480370b82ef3735994f986f338fb4df2vboxsync * locking and do not need read (shared) locking. This implementation uses a
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * cheap and fast critical section for both lockWrite() and lockRead() methods
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * which makes a lockRead() call fully equivalent to the lockWrite() call and
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * therefore makes it pointless to use instahces of this class with
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * AutoReadLock instances -- shared locking will not be possible anyway and
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * any call to lock() will block if there are lock owners on other threads.
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * Use with care only when absolutely sure that shared locks are not necessary.

c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * Lockable interface.
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * This is an abstract base for classes that need read/write locking. Unlike
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * RWLockHandle and other classes that makes the read/write semaphore a part of
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * class data, this class allows subclasses to decide which semaphore handle to
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * Returns a pointer to a LockHandle used by AutoWriteLock/AutoReadLock
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * for locking. Subclasses are allowed to return @c NULL -- in this case,
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * the AutoWriteLock/AutoReadLock object constructed using an instance of
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * such subclass will simply turn into no-op.
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * Equivalent to <tt>#lockHandle()->isWriteLockOnCurrentThread()</tt>.
c1f5ec452b23d55c71e6f07628b84ac5e97cf551vboxsync * Returns @c false if lockHandle() returns @c NULL.
