//          NOTE ON Tasking SERIAL BUILDS AND MUTEX/UNIQUE_LOCK
//          ==================================================
//
// Mutex and RecursiveMutex are always C++11 std::mutex types
// however, in serial mode, using MUTEXLOCK and MUTEXUNLOCK on these
// types has no effect -- i.e. the mutexes are not actually locked or unlocked
//
// Additionally, when a Mutex or RecursiveMutex is used with AutoLock
// and RecursiveAutoLock, respectively, these classes also suppressing
// the locking and unlocking of the mutex. Regardless of the build type,
// AutoLock and RecursiveAutoLock inherit from std::unique_lock<std::mutex>
// and std::unique_lock<std::recursive_mutex>, respectively. This means
// that in situations (such as is needed by the analysis category), the
// AutoLock and RecursiveAutoLock can be passed to functions requesting
// a std::unique_lock. Within these functions, since std::unique_lock
// member functions are not virtual, they will not retain the dummy locking
// and unlocking behavior
// --> An example of this behavior can be found in AutoLock.hh
