//! A ticket-based mutex.
//!
//! Waiting threads take a 'ticket' from the lock in the order they arrive and gain access to the lock when their
//! ticket is next in the queue. Best-case latency is slightly worse than a regular spinning mutex, but worse-case
//! latency is infinitely better. Waiting threads simply need to wait for all threads that come before them in the
//! queue to finish.

/// A spin-based [ticket lock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticket_lock) providing mutually exclusive access to data.
///
/// A ticket lock is analogous to a queue management system for lock requests. When a thread tries to take a lock, it
/// is assigned a 'ticket'. It then spins until its ticket becomes next in line. When the lock guard is released, the
/// next ticket will be processed.
///
/// Ticket locks significantly reduce the worse-case performance of locking at the cost of slightly higher average-time
/// overhead.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use spin;
///
/// let lock = spin::mutex::TicketMutex::<_>::new(0);
///
/// // Modify the data
/// *lock.lock() = 2;
///
/// // Read the data
/// let answer = *lock.lock();
/// assert_eq!(answer, 2);
/// ```
///
/// # Thread safety example
///
/// ```
/// use spin;
/// use std::sync::{Arc, Barrier};
///
/// let thread_count = 1000;
/// let spin_mutex = Arc::new(spin::mutex::TicketMutex::<_>::new(0));
///
/// // We use a barrier to ensure the readout happens after all writing
/// let barrier = Arc::new(Barrier::new(thread_count + 1));
///
/// for _ in (0..thread_count) {
///     let my_barrier = barrier.clone();
///     let my_lock = spin_mutex.clone();
///     std::thread::spawn(move || {
///         let mut guard = my_lock.lock();
///         *guard += 1;
///
///         // Release the lock to prevent a deadlock
///         drop(guard);
///         my_barrier.wait();
///     });
