Detailed Description

class that automatically locks and unlocks pthread mutexes To use mlocks in code:

• create smart_mutex that will be locked
• create an mlock object and pass the mutex in the constructor
• on destruction, the mlock will automatically unlock the mutex

Example:

        void threadsafeFunction(void)
        {
                smart_mutex my_mutex;
   
                mlock lock(my_mutex);   // blocks until mutex is acquired
   
                // some stuff that needs to be protected happens here
                ...
   
        }  <--- mutex is unlocked here as mlock destructor is called
