Detailed Description

Simple convenience class for locking access to a function.

This class provides a simple convenience mechanism for automatically locking access to a function that is not re-entrant.

Usage example:

  void
  myfunction(void)
  {
    SbThreadAutoLock lock(aMutexPtr);

    // [other code]
  }

In the class constructor, SbMutex::lock() is called on the mutex, and when the function exits (this is the convenience part) the destructor will automatically be invoked, calling SbMutex::unlock() on the same mutex.

Public Member Functions
	SbThreadAutoLock (SbMutex *mutexptr)
	~SbThreadAutoLock ()
Protected Attributes
SbMutex *	mutex
