/**
* LockPtr is a smart pointer to T. It is constructed from a volatile
* T* and a Lock (by default a Mutex). It const_casts away the
* volatile qualifier and locks the Lock for the duration of its
*
* Used in conjuntion with the "volatile" keyword to get the compiler
* to help enforce correct concurrent use of mutli-threaded objects.
* See ochttp://www.ddj.com/cpp/184403766 for a detailed discussion.
*
* To summarize the convention:
* - Declare thread-safe member functions as volatile.
* - Declare instances of the class that may be called concurrently as volatile.
* - Use LockPtr to cast away the volatile qualifier while taking a lock.
*
* This means that code calling on a concurrently-used object
* (declared volatile) can only call thread-safe (volatile) member
* functions. Code that needs to use thread-unsafe members must use a
* LockPtr, thereby acquiring the lock and making it safe to do so.
*
* A good type-safe pattern is the internally-locked object:
* - It has it's own private lock member.
* - All public functions are thread safe and declared volatile.
* - Any thread-unsafe, non-volatile functions are private.
* - Only member function implementations use LockPtr to access private functions.
*
* This encapsulates all the locking logic inside the class.
*
* One nice feature of this convention is the common case where you
* need a public, locked version of some function foo() and also a
* private unlocked version to avoid recursive locks. They can be declared as
* volatile and non-volatile overloads of the same function:
*
* // public
* void Thing::foo() volatile { LockPtr<Thing>(this, myLock)->foo(); }
* // private
* void Thing::foo() { ... do stuff ...}
