/*

  A stack-based lock object that makes using PRLock a bit more
  convenient. It acquires the monitor when constructed, and releases
  it when it goes out of scope.

  For example,

    class Foo {
    private:
        PRLock* mLock;

    public:
        Foo(void) {
            mLock = PR_NewLock();
        }

        virtual ~Foo(void) {
            PR_DestroyLock(mLock);
        }

        void ThreadSafeMethod(void) {
            // we're don't hold the lock yet...

            nsAutoLock lock(mLock);
            // ...but now we do.

            // we even can do wacky stuff like return from arbitrary places w/o
            // worrying about forgetting to release the lock
            if (some_weird_condition)
                return;

            // otherwise do some other stuff
        }

        void ThreadSafeBlockScope(void) {
            // we're not in the lock here...

            {
                nsAutoLock lock(mLock);
                // but we are now, at least until the block scope closes
            }

            // ...now we're not in the lock anymore
        }
    };
