 * locking API that is supported by all the ACE synchronization
 * mechanisms.
 *
 * This class is typically used in conjunction with the
 * <ACE_Lock_Adapter> in order to provide a polymorphic
 * interface to the ACE synchronization mechanisms (e.g.,
 * <ACE_Mutex>, <ACE_Semaphore>, <ACE_RW_Mutex>, etc).  Note that
 * the reason that all of ACE doesn't use polymorphic locks is
 * that (1) they add ~20% extra overhead for virtual function
 * calls and (2) objects with virtual functions can't be placed
 * into shared memory.
