Description:

This component provides a class, bslmt::RWMutex, that defines a platform-independent RW mutex. An RW mutex provides for a shared "read" lock that may be held simultaneously by any number of threads, and a "write" lock that is exclusive (i.e., it may be held by only one thread at a time). The "write" lock is also exclusive with the "read" lock, so that no threads may hold a "read" lock while the "write" lock is held, and vice versa.
