Detailed Description

Note

Code-Status: Deprecated

DEPRECATED backward-compatibility header. Since Stroika v3.0d24, this class is called Debug::AssertExternallySynchronizedChecker and lives in AssertExternallySynchronizedChecker.h. Include that instead; this header exists only so existing code keeps building, and will be removed.

WHY THE RENAME: it was never a mutex. It does not lock, it does not block, and it does not make anything thread safe - lock () asserts that no other thread is currently in a conflicting access and then returns. Calling it a 'Mutex' invited exactly the wrong reading of the ~1200 places that declare a ReadContext or WriteContext, ie "this code is now synchronized" rather than "assert nobody else is here". 'Checker' says what it does. See the class docs in AssertExternallySynchronizedChecker.h.
