Detailed Description

Provides a lock to protect ROOT routines that are not thread-safe.

This class is a simple wrapper around a static mutex. In general, ROOT is not thread-safe, and a number of operations must be protected by a lock. Their list includes (but is likely not limited to) the following:

• creation of objects inheriting from TObject, especially, TFile, TTree, and histograms;
• deletion of these objects;
• calling TTree::SetBranchAddress or TBranch::SetAddress. User should also remember that threads share the current ROOT directory object (gDirectory).
