Detailed Description

Data structures for synchronizing threads.

Author

Olivier Hureau, Hugo Feydel , Julien ALaimo

 Three kinds of synchronization are defined here: semaphores,
 locks, and condition variables.  The implementation for
 semaphores is given; for the latter two, only the procedure
 interface is given -- they are to be implemented as part of
 the first assignment.

 Note that all the synchronization objects take a "name" as
 part of the initialization.  This is solely for debugging purposes.
