/** 
  * @brief Mutex: a class to synchronize access to shared data. 
  *
  * This is simple encapsulation of tools provided by the
  * operating system to syncronize access to shared data 
  * from threads within one process.
  *
  * Current implementation is very simple and straightforward;
  * it is just a wrapper around POSIX pthread librray on UNIX/Linux,
  * and CRITICAL_SECTIONs on Windows NT. It does not provide any
  * advanced functionaly such as recursive calls to the same mutex from 
  * within one thread (such call will froze the execution).
  *
  * Note that all the methods of that class are made inline, in order
  * to keep maximal performance. This means that a library using the mutex
  * might need to be linked to threads library directly.
  *
  * The typical use of this class should be as follows:
  * - create instance of the class Standard_Mutex in the global scope
  *   (whenever possible, or as a field of your class)
  * - create instance of class Standard_Mutex::Sentry using that Mutex
  *   when entering critical section
  *
  * Note that this class provides one feature specific to Open CASCADE:
  * safe unlocking the mutex when signal is raised and converted to OCC
  * exceptions (Note that with current implementation of this functionality
  * on UNIX and Linux, C longjumps are used for that, thus destructors of 
  * classes are not called automatically).
  * 
  * To use this feature, call RegisterCallback() after Lock() or successful
  * TryLock(), and UnregisterCallback() before Unlock() (or use Sentry classes).
