// Classical Implementation of Reader/Writer lock using Mutex
// Don't use pthread_rwlock, since it's not implemented on every platforms;
// however, pthread_mutex is more common than pthread_rwlock, 
// so use it to implement the other.
//
// It's also simpler to code then to play with C structs...
//
// Use your Comp346 book as a reference for the pseudo-code.
