Detailed Description

template<class Iter, class Mutex>
struct rpa::atomic_mutex< Iter, Mutex >

For implementing atomic access to a datatype without atomic operations.

For example, for a complicated datatype. This is slow, but allows to compile, link and run. This is also a good platform for testing for race conditions, by changing the synchronization primitives, while retaining exactly the same scheme.
