21* \class ROOT::Internal::TSpinLockGuard
22* \brief A spin mutex-as-code-guard class.
23* \ingroup Foundation
24* This class allows to acquire spin locks in combination with a std::atomic_flag variable.
25* For example:
26* ~~~{.cpp}
27* mutable std::atomic_flag fSpinLock;
28* [...]
29* ROOT::Internal::TSpinLockGuard slg(fSpinLock);
30* // do something important
31* [...]
32* ~~~{.cpp}
