* \brief 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.
