use crate::raw_fair_mutex::RawFairMutex;
use lock_api;

/// A mutual exclusive primitive that is always fair, useful for protecting shared data
///
/// This mutex will block threads waiting for the lock to become available. The
/// mutex can be statically initialized or created by the `new`
/// constructor. Each mutex has a type parameter which represents the data that
/// it is protecting. The data can only be accessed through the RAII guards
/// returned from `lock` and `try_lock`, which guarantees that the data is only
/// ever accessed when the mutex is locked.
///
/// The regular mutex provided by `parking_lot` uses eventual fairness
/// (after some time it will default to the fair algorithm), but eventual
/// fairness does not provide the same guarantees an always fair method would.
/// Fair mutexes are generally slower, but sometimes needed.
///
/// In a fair mutex the waiters form a queue, and the lock is always granted to
/// the next requester in the queue, in first-in first-out order. This ensures
/// that one thread cannot starve others by quickly re-acquiring the lock after
/// releasing it.
///
/// A fair mutex may not be interesting if threads have different priorities (this is known as
/// priority inversion).
///
/// # Differences from the standard library `Mutex`
///
/// - No poisoning, the lock is released normally on panic.
/// - Only requires 1 byte of space, whereas the standard library boxes the
///   `FairMutex` due to platform limitations.
/// - Can be statically constructed (requires the `const_fn` nightly feature).
/// - Does not require any drop glue when dropped.
/// - Inline fast path for the uncontended case.
/// - Efficient handling of micro-contention using adaptive spinning.
/// - Allows raw locking & unlocking without a guard.
///
/// # Examples

/// const N: usize = 10;
///
/// // Spawn a few threads to increment a shared variable (non-atomically), and
/// // let the main thread know once all increments are done.
/// //
/// // Here we're using an Arc to share memory among threads, and the data inside
/// // the Arc is protected with a mutex.
/// let data = Arc::new(FairMutex::new(0));
///
/// let (tx, rx) = channel();
/// for _ in 0..10 {

///         // The shared state can only be accessed once the lock is held.
///         // Our non-atomic increment is safe because we're the only thread
///         // which can access the shared state when the lock is held.
///         let mut data = data.lock();
///         *data += 1;
///         if *data == N {
///             tx.send(()).unwrap();
///         }
