// Data Member Documentation:
//
// The "fBenaphoreCount" member is set to 1 if the BLocker style is
// semaphore. If the style is benaphore, it is initialized to 0 and
// is incremented atomically when it is acquired, decremented when it
// is released. By setting the benaphore count to 1 when the style is
// semaphore, the benaphore effectively becomes a semaphore. I was able
// to determine this is what Be's implementation does by testing the
// result of the CountLockRequests() member.
//
// The "fSemaphoreID" member holds the sem_id returned from create_sem()
// when the BLocker is constructed. It is used to acquire and release
// the lock regardless of the lock style (semaphore or benaphore).
//
// The "fLockOwner" member holds the thread_id of the thread which
// currently holds the lock. If no thread holds the lock, it is set to
// B_ERROR.
//
// The "fRecursiveCount" member holds a count of the number of times the
// thread holding the lock has acquired the lock without a matching unlock.
// It is basically the number of times the thread must call Unlock() before
// the lock can be acquired by a different thread.
//
//
// Constructors:
//
// All constructors just pass their arguments to InitLocker(). Note that
// the default for "name" is "some BLocker" and "benaphore_style" is true.

// is not decremented. By doing this, the benaphore count will
// never go back to zero. This means that the locking essentially
// changes to semaphore style if this was a benaphore.
//
// Doing the decrement of the benaphore count when the acquisition
// fails is a risky thing to do. If you decrement the counter at
// the same time the thread which holds the benaphore does an
// Unlock(), there is serious risk of a race condition.
//
// If the Unlock() sees a positive count and releases the semaphore
// and then the timed out thread decrements the count to 0, there
// is no one to take the semaphore. The next two threads will be
// able to acquire the benaphore at the same time! The first will
// increment the counter and acquire the lock. The second will
// acquire the semaphore and therefore the lock. Not good.
//
// This has been discussed on the becodetalk mailing list and
// Trey from Be had this to say:
//
// I looked at the LockWithTimeout() code, and it does not have
// _this_ (ie the race condition) problem. It circumvents it by
// NOT doing the atomic_add(&count, -1) if the semaphore
// acquisition fails. This means that if a
// BLocker::LockWithTimeout() times out, all other Lock*() attempts
// turn into guaranteed semaphore grabs, _with_ the overhead of a
// (now) useless atomic_add().
//
// Given Trey's comments, it looks like Be took the same approach
// I did. The output of CountLockRequests() of Be's implementation
// confirms Trey's comments also.
//
// Finally some thoughts for the future with this code:
// - If 2^31 timeouts occur on a 32-bit machine (ie today),
// the benaphore count will wrap to a negative number. This
// would have unknown consequences on the ability of the BLocker
// to continue to function.
//
}
}

if (*error == B_NO_ERROR) {

// by one. The recursive count is incremented because one more Unlock()
// is now required to release the lock (ie, 0 => 1, 1 => 2 etc).
