Just a quick inquiry on whether we should continue to stick with
osl::Mutex or, since now that we have C++11 as the baseline, we could
perhaps switch to using std::mutex instead.
As always with new C++ features:
* Start a test balloon commit to see that the stuff indeed works with
all our toolchains. (I'd very much assume that's the case for
std::mutex; e.g., Michael introduced a commit using std::mutex and
std::condition_variable the other day.)
* Keep the URE interface at C++03. (Which typically isn't much of a
burden. For one, backwards compatibility requirements preclude much
change anyway. And for another, compatible additions can be wrapped in
LIBO_INTERNAL_ONLY---which has the added benefit of not needing to set
things into stone prematurely.)
One big benefit of std::mutex over osl::Mutex is that it's non-recursive
by default, which is generally the saner choice.
