/** @par thread_local Keyword
 The mutexes require compilers to provide thread local storage - meaning each
 thread gets its own copy of the data.  The next version of C++ will have a
 new keyword, thread_local for that purpose.  Some existing compilers already
 provide thread local storage using different syntax, so these lines use
 thread_local to mimic that syntax.  If your compiler provides thread local
 storage but using different syntax besides "thread_local", you may want to
 modify these lines.  If your compiler does not support thread local storage,
 you can't use LevelMutex.

/** @class LevelMutexInfo
 This monolithic base class stores common info for a template class used to
 control mutexes.  The template class, LevelMutex, is policy-based class.

 @par Implementation
 Each thread has a list of mutexes it locked.  When a mutex first gets locked, it
 gets added to the head of the list.  If locked again, LevelMutex merely increments
 a count.  When unlocked, the count gets decremented until it reaches zero, and
 then it gets removed from the list.  Each mutex has a pointer to the mutex most
 recently locked by the current thread.  The current level of a thread is always
 the level of the most recently locked mutex, or UnlockedLevel if the thread does
 not have any mutexes locked now.  A mutex is considered "recently" locked if it is at
 the head of the list, or the same level as the current mutex and also locked by the
 current thread.

 @par Class Invariants
 This class maintains invariants for each LevelMutexInfo so that no function
 calls corrupt a mutex.  Each function makes a call to IsValid at the start so
 that LevelMutex knows it acts on valid internal data.  Many functions call
 IsValid again when they return to insure the function did not leave any data in
 an invalid state.  The exit call to IsValid occurs through a tiny helper class
 called Checker to insure all data remain valid even when exceptions occur.
 Another helper class, MutexUndoer, unlocks mutexes in a container if an
 exception occurs during calls to MultiLock.

 @par Error Results
 Many functions return an enum value to indicate an error status.  Many enum values
 indicate errors detected within LevelMutex, but some indicate errors found in policy
 classes, SpinLevelMutex and SleepLevelMutex.

/** @class LevelMutex
 Levelized mutex class prevents deadlocks by requiring programs to lock mutexes in
 the same order, and unlock them in reverse order.  This is accomplished by forcing
 each mutex to have a level and forcing code to lock mutexes with higher levels
 before locking mutexes at lower levels.  If you want to lock several mutexes, they
 must be locked in decreasing order by level, or if they are all of the same level,
 then locked by LevelMutex::MultiLock.

 @par Features
 - Immune: Very unlikely to deadlock since all mutexes are locked in the same
   order and unlocked in reverse order.
 - Scalable: Can handle any number of mutexes.
 - Efficient: Many operations occur in constant time, and most operations require
   no more than O(m) steps.
 - Exception safe: All operations provide strong safety or don't throw.
 - Extendable: Can work with existing mutexes through policy-based design.
 - Easily Extended: Derived classes only need to implement 5 functions and a mutex
   to get all the features of this class.
 - Re-Entrant: Allows for re-entrancy even if mutexes in policy classes don't.
 - Cost-Free: No resource allocations occur in LevelMutex - although user-defined
   policy classes may allocate resources.
 - Compact: Each LevelMutex object is small.
 - Portable: As long as your compiler and libraries can meet the requirements.
 - Robust: Maintains data integrity even if exceptions occur in policy classes.
 - Affording: Several functions provide information about a mutex which allows
   client code to easily choose correct actions.

 @par Requirements
 - Your compiler must allow for thread-specific data.
 - You must have a threading or mutex library.

 @par Policy-Based Design
 This class hosts 3 policies and a default level.  The policy-based design allows
 users to write their own policies to extend the behaviors of LevelMutex.  The
 paragraphs below say how to design a class for each policy.
 - MutexPolicy The mutex policy class.
 - defaultLevel A level for existing client code that calls a default constructor.
 - ErrorPolicy How the mutex should handle error conditions.
 - WaitPolicy Whether a thread should wait, and how long in some internal loops.

 @par MutexPolicy
 A policy class that wraps a low-level mutex. Loki provides two policy classes
 for the actual mutex (SpinLevelMutex and SleepLevelMutex), both of which wrap
 either pthreads or the Windows CRITICAL_SECTION. If you want to use a mutex
 mechanism besides one of those, then all you have to do is provide a class
 which wraps the mutex and implements these functions.
    explicit SpinLevelMutex( unsigned int level );
    virtual ~SpinLevelMutex( void );
    virtual MutexErrors::Type Lock( void ) volatile;
    virtual MutexErrors::Type TryLock( void ) volatile;
    virtual MutexErrors::Type Unlock( void ) volatile;
 Indeed, since the base class does most of the work, and provides all the interace
 and functionality to client classes, a derived class has very few requirements.
 It only needs to implement a single constructor, the destructor, some virtual
 functions, and whatever data members it requires.  You don't actually need to
 declare those functions as virtual if the policy class is not a base or child
 class.  In the parlance of design patterns, LevelMutex is a Template, and the
 MutexPolicy is a Strategy.

 @par DefaultLevel
 The template class requires a default level to use inside the default constructor.
 Some existing code calls instantiates mutexes with a default constructor, so the
 mutex must know what level to use there.  Please do not use zero or UnlockedLevel
 as the default level.

 @par ErrorPolicy
 This policy specifies how to handle error conditions.  The mutexes can return
 errors, assert, or throw exceptions.  I recommend that debug code use asserts,
 release code use exceptions, and unit-testing code just return errors.  The
 error policy class only needs to implement one function:
   static MutexErrors::Type CheckError( MutexErrors::Type error, unsigned int level );

 @par WaitPolicy
 This states whether the mutex should wait within some tight internal loops,
 how the waiting is done, and for how long.  A wait policy class could sleep,
 do nothing, check if other objects need attention, or check if the program
 received events or notices from the operating system.  It only needs to
 implement one function:
   static void Wait( void );

 @par Per-Function Usage
 If you implement a function with a static local mutex, then you have to insure
 the function is not called from a lower level via call-backs, virtual functions in
 interface classes.  If the function does get called from a lower level, you are
 setting up a potential deadlock.  LevelMutex will detect that by checking the
 current level and the local mutex's level, so it will refuse to lock the local mutex.

 @par Per-Object Usage
 If you use a mutex as a data member of an object to protect that object, then I
 recommend specifying which functions are volatile and which are not, and then only
 use the mutex within the volatile functions.  You may also want to provide accessor
 functions so that client code can lock and unlock the mutex either to allow for
 calling multiple operations without having to lock and unlock before and after each
 operation, or so they can lock it along with several other objects at the same
 level.

 @par Per-Class Usage
 If you make a static data member within a class, you can use that to lock any
 resources shared by those objects, or to require threads to act on only one object
 at a time.  You may also want to provide static accessor functions so that client
 code can lock several other resources at the same level.
