Assuming there is no
4. a solution that works
(and I do not assume that) we can just not do inheritance under
reader-writer locks and that means they remain as spin locks. Normal
spin locks remain proper candidates.
I never mentioned anything about reader-writer locks in my original
email. Most of the long-held locks I am considering are not in this
category anyway ...

am stopping here. Let's take it off-list or just drop it, please. I'd
much prefer to discuss the current combilock issue which is at hand. ;)
