linux读写锁实现

下面的代码来自开源 sip项目pjsip，觉得实现的很简洁，下次自己要实现的时候可以借鉴，于是就摘录过来了。

该实现不支持同时多个线程写。

//读写锁的实现，值得借鉴
//不支持多个写
struct pj_rwmutex_t
{
    pj_mutex_t *read_lock;//实际上是用来保护信号量的
    /* write_lock must use semaphore, because write_lock may be released
     * by thread other than the thread that acquire the write_lock in the
     * first place.
     */
     //write_lock必须为信号量，因为释放write_lock的线程不一定就是最初
     //获取write_lock的代码位置
     /*
     互斥量的加锁和解锁必须由同一线程分别对应使用，信号量可以由一个线程释放，另一个线程得到。
基于上面的特点，互斥锁一般用于控制一段临界代码，当然信号量也可以做到。但是如果释放和获取不在一个函数中甚至不在一个线程中时就必须使用信号量了。

当然了linux应该针对线程已经有读写锁的实现，不过我觉得彻底搞清楚实现会收获更多，尤其是自己的实际解决问题，可能就需要用到别人好的实现思路。

如果自己要再实现的话，把里面的信号量替换成线程的条件变量即可，实际上条件变量和信号量就是一个概念吧！
