//  typedef <implementation-defined> boost::detail::lightweight_mutex;
//
//  boost::detail::lightweight_mutex meets the Mutex concept requirements
//  See http://www.boost.org/libs/thread/doc/mutex_concept.html#Mutex
//
//  * Used by the smart pointer library
//  * Performance oriented
//  * Header-only implementation
//  * Small memory footprint
//  * Not a general purpose mutex, use boost::mutex, CRITICAL_SECTION or
//    pthread_mutex instead.
//  * Never spin in a tight lock/do-something/unlock loop, since
//    lightweight_mutex does not guarantee fairness.
//  * Never keep a lightweight_mutex locked for long periods.
//

//  Note: lwm_linux.hpp has been disabled by default; see the comments
//        inside for more info.

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