     43 ** A locking mechanism, built on the existing PRLock definiion,
     44 ** is provided that will permit applications to define a Lock
     45 ** Hierarchy (or Lock Ordering) schema. An application designed
     46 ** using the Ordered Lock functions will terminate with a
     47 ** diagnostic message when a lock inversion condition is
     48 ** detected.
     49 **
     50 ** The lock ordering detection is complile-time enabled only. in
     51 ** optimized builds of NSPR, the Ordered Lock functions map
     52 ** directly to PRLock functions, providing no lock order
     53 ** detection.
     54 **
     55 ** The Ordered Lock Facility is compiled in when DEBUG is defined at
     56 ** compile time. Ordered Lock can be forced on in optimized builds by
     57 ** defining FORCE_NSPR_ORDERED_LOCK at compile time. Both the
     58 ** application using Ordered Lock and NSPR must be compiled with the
     59 ** facility enabled to achieve the desired results.
     60 **
     61 ** Application designers should use the macro interfaces to the Ordered
     62 ** Lock facility to ensure that it is compiled out in optimized builds.
     63 **
     64 ** Application designers are responsible for defining their own
     65 ** lock hierarchy.
     66 **
     67 ** Ordered Lock is thread-safe and SMP safe.
