20 //  boost::detail::lightweight_mutex meets the Mutex concept requirements
21 //  See http://www.boost.org/libs/thread/doc/mutex_concept.html#Mutex
22 //
23 //  * Used by the smart pointer library
24 //  * Performance oriented
25 //  * Header-only implementation
26 //  * Small memory footprint
27 //  * Not a general purpose mutex, use boost::mutex, CRITICAL_SECTION or
28 //    pthread_mutex instead.
29 //  * Never spin in a tight lock/do-something/unlock loop, since
30 //    lightweight_mutex does not guarantee fairness.
31 //  * Never keep a lightweight_mutex locked for long periods.

34 //  Note: lwm_linux.hpp has been disabled by default; see the comments

41 //  Note to implementors: if you write a platform-specific lightweight_mutex
42 //  for a platform that supports pthreads, be sure to test its performance
43 //  against the pthreads-based version using shared_ptr_timing_test.cpp and
44 //  shared_ptr_mt_test.cpp. Custom versions are usually not worth the trouble
45 //  _unless_ the performance gains are substantial.
46 //
47 //  Be sure to compare against a "real" pthreads library;
48 //  shared_ptr_timing_test.cpp will compile succesfully with a stub do-nothing
49 //  pthreads library, since it doesn't create any threads.
