A Read Write Lock. This is used to synchronize multiple [Thread]s. This guarantees that only one thread can ever acquire the write lock at a time, and gives any number of threads read access in the meantime. An RWLock can be used to protect a critical section; however, be careful to avoid deadlocks.

Unlocks this [RWLock] for read access, leaving it to other threads.
|
||
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] If a thread called [method lock] or [method try_lock] multiple times while already having ownership of the rwlock, it must also call [method unlock] the same number of times in order to unlock it correctly.
