o Remove unused Leave and GetLock functions
o Make Enter and TryEnter private.
o Simplify Enter and TryEnter.
boost::unique_lock doesn't really know whether the
mutex it wraps is locked or not when the defer_lock
option is used.
The boost::recursive_mutex does not expose this
information, so unique_lock only infers this
knowledge. When taking the lock is defered, it
(randomly) assumes that the lock is not taken.
boost::unique_lock has the following definition:
unique_lock(Mutex& m_,defer_lock_t):
m(&m_),is_locked(false)
{}
bool owns_lock() const
{
return is_locked;
}
Thus it is a mistake to check owns_lock() in Enter
and TryEnter - they will always return false.
feature in clang. These macros should primarily be used to
document which locks protect a given piece of data. Secondary it
can be used to document the set of held and excluded locks when
entering a function.
