Detailed Description

       The ReadLock class is used to protect a section of code through a ThreadLock for 'read'
       access to the member function.

       The ThreadLock is automatically released when the object falls out of scope.

       A common use is

       void func_to_protect() { ReadLock lock(threadlock); ... operation ... }

       NOTE: do not declare variable as 'ReadLock (threadlock)', the mutex will be released at
       statement end.
