ThreadingLocks
ThreadingLocks is a collection of synchronization primitives designed to coordinate access to shared resources in multi-threaded software. It provides locking mechanisms such as mutual exclusion locks, recursive locks, and reader–writer locks, enabling threads to acquire exclusive or shared access as needed. The term is used across languages and frameworks to describe a cohesive API for thread synchronization.
Core concepts include lock acquisition and release semantics. Blocking variants cause the caller to wait until
Design considerations involve avoiding deadlocks, minimizing contention, and choosing appropriate lock granularity. Correct usage often relies
Typical usage patterns include protecting shared data structures, guarding invariants, and implementing higher-level synchronization constructs such
