 * @class   vtkAtomicMutex
 * @brief   mutual exclusion locking class using atomic operations
 *
 * vtkAtomicMutex allows the locking of variables which are accessed
 * through different threads using atomic operations. An atomic mutex
 * might be preferable over std::mutex, because it is faster when you want to spin lock and the
 * probability of acquiring the lock is high. The benefit of vtkAtomicMutex over
 * std::atomic<bool> is that it is copy constructible, and that is has predefined optimized
 * lock/unlock functions that can be used as a drop in replacement instead of std::mutex.
