Mutex implements a simple semaphore that can be used to coordinate access to shared data from multiple concurrent threads.
Example:
require 'thread'
semaphore = Mutex.new
a = Thread.new {
semaphore.synchronize {
# access shared resource
}
}
b = Thread.new {
semaphore.synchronize {
# access shared resource
}
}
