Detailed Description

Multi-threaded synchronization object class.

This class uses standard OS thread-locking (mutex) mechanism which is fairly efficient in most cases.

The acquire() function is re-enterant, and can be called recursively, in the same thread, for this kind of thread-locking mechanism. This will not produce a dead-lock.
