typedef OsclMutex OsclNoYieldMutex

Class OsclNoYieldMutex can be used in use cases where there will be no CPU-yielding operation done while the Mutex is locked.

CPU-yielding operations include OsclMutex::Lock, OsclSemphore::Wait, OsclThread::Sleep, and OsclBrewThreadUtil::BThreadYield.

The behavior of OsclNoYieldMutex depends on whether the threading model is pre-emptive or not. When threading is pre-emptive, it is identical to OsclMutex. When threading is non-pre-emptive, it is a NO-OP.

An example of this type of use case is for simple data protection.
