Question about Mutex

["Anh Le Duc (2)" <an...@vng.com.vn>]

Hi guys,

I'm reading the code of Mutex
<https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/master/lib/cpp/src/thrift/concurrency/Mutex.h>
and
wonder what the rationale behind the current implementation:

class Mutex {
// ...
private:
class impl;
boost::shared_ptr<impl> impl_;
};

// proxy methods
void Mutex::lock() const {
impl_->lock();
}

IMHO, Mutex acts as a proxy to invoke methods of a mutex implementation. Is
it better if we have:

#define Mutex BestMutexEver

Thanks for your time.

Best regards.
