Class TaskReadWriteMutex

This mutex can be used in exchange for a core.sync.mutex.ReadWriteMutex, but does not block the event loop in contention situations. The reader and writer members are used for locking. Locking the reader mutex allows access to multiple readers at once, while the writer mutex only allows a single writer to lock it at any given time. Locks on reader and writer are mutually exclusive (i.e. whenever a writer is active, no readers can be active at the same time, and vice versa).

Notice

Mutexes implemented by this class cannot be interrupted using Task.interrupt(). The corresponding InterruptException will be deferred until the next blocking operation yields the event loop.

Use InterruptibleTaskReadWriteMutex as an alternative that can be interrupted.
