should be used to non-recursively synchronize access to shared
resources. For recursive locking mechanics, see <a href=

<p>Each class supplies one or more typedefs for lock types which model
matching lock concepts. For the best possible performance you should
use the mutex class that supports the minimum set of lock types that
you need.</p>

<p>The <tt>mutex</tt>, <tt>try_mutex</tt> and <tt>timed_mutex</tt>
classes use an <tt>Unspecified</tt> <a href=
"mutex_concept.html#LockingStrategies">locking strategy</a>, so
attempts to recursively lock them or attempts to unlock them by threads
that don't own a lock on them result in <b>undefined behavior</b>.
This strategy allows implementations to be as efficient as possible on
any given platform. It is, however, recommended that implementations
include debugging support to detect misuse when <tt>NDEBUG</tt> is not
defined.</p>
<p>Like all the <b>Boost.Threads</b> <a href="mutex_concept.html">mutex
models</a>, the <tt>mutex</tt>, <tt>try_mutex</tt> and <tt>
timed_mutex</tt> leave the <a href=
"mutex_concept.html#SchedulingPolicies">scheduling policy</a> as <tt>
Unspecified</tt>. Programmers should assume that threads waiting for a
lock on objects of these types acquire the lock in a random order, even
though the specific behavior for a given platform may be different.</p>
