// platform and/or available libraries.

// This file, along with mutexImpl.h and the various Mutex
// implementation classes, are defined in dtool so that some form of
// critical-section protection will be available to view low-level
// classes like TypeRegistry.  Most of the rest of the threading and
// synchronization classes are defined in panda/src/express.

// volatile because multiple threads might contend on it, unprotected

// regular volatile keyword.
