Re: MutexCounter

[David Sugar]

At one time the MutexCounter was meant to simply reliably throw itself
when it hit zero.  This is the strange origin of it.  What you are
probably thinking of as a MutexCounter is what the AtomicCounter actually
does, which is reliable increment/decrement over a volatile counter
object.
