A synchronization primitive with weak mutual exclusion guarantees.
Declared in <llvm/Support/AdvisoryLock.h>
class AdvisoryLock;Implementations of this interface may allow multiple threads/processes to acquire the ownership of the lock simultaneously. Typically, threads/processes waiting for the lock to be unlocked will validate that the computation was performed by the expected thread/process and re-run the computation if not.
