Functions

lock

void lock()

lock_nothrow

void lock_nothrow()

If this lock is not already held by the caller, the lock is acquired, then the internal counter is incremented by one.

tryLock

bool tryLock()

tryLock_nothrow

bool tryLock_nothrow()

If the lock is held by another caller, the method returns. Otherwise, the lock is acquired if it is not already held, and then the internal counter is incremented by one.

unlock_nothrow

void unlock_nothrow()

Decrements the internal lock count by one. If this brings the count to zero, the lock is released.
