## Detailed Description

The locking_ptr is smart pointer with a scoped locking mechanism.

The class is a wrapper for a volatile pointer. It enables synchronized access to the internal pointer by locking the passed mutex. locking_ptr is based on Andrei Alexandrescu's LockingPtr. For more information see article "volatile - Multithreaded Programmer's Best Friend" by A. Alexandrescu.
