Detailed Description

The mutex class models a simple mutex to provide mutual exclusion to a resource shared by threads.

This version of a mutex is recursive. This means that if a thread already owns the mutex, then a second lock will not deadlock. You need to unlock the mutex the same number of times it was locked to unlock it.

void GNE::Mutex::acquire (   )

Acquire the lock on a mutex, blocking if necessary. If the mutex is unlocked, lock it, and proceed. If the mutex is locked, wait for it to become unlocked, then go to step 1.
