Recursive mutex that can be locked multiple times by the same thread.
Declared in <bslmt_recursivemutex.h>
class RecursiveMutex;This class implements a recursive mutex (i.e., a mutex that can be locked any number of times by a thread, and then released by unlocking the mutex the same number of times). If there is an efficient native recursive mutex, this class wraps it. Otherwise, a reasonably efficient proprietary implementation is used. Note that Mutex should be preferred if at all possible.
