32//
33// Perform mythread_mutex_lock(&mutex) in the beginning of a block
34// and mythread_mutex_unlock(&mutex) at the end of the block. "break"
35// may be used to unlock the mutex and jump out of the block.
36// mythread_sync blocks may be nested.
37//
38// Example:
39//
40//     mythread_sync(mutex) {
41//         foo();
42//         if (some_error)
43//             break; // Skips bar()
44//         bar();
45//     }
46//
47// At least GCC optimizes the loops completely away so it doesn't slow
48// things down at all compared to plain mythread_mutex_lock(&mutex)
49// and mythread_mutex_unlock(&mutex) calls.
