    class ACE_Thread_Mutex_Guard
    {
      public:
        ACE_Thread_Mutex_Guard (ACE_Thread_Mutex &m, int block = 1);
        ~ACE_Thread_Mutex_Guard (void);
        int locked (void);
        int remove (void);
        int acquire (void);
        int tryacquire (void);
        int release (void);
        void dump (void) const;
        ACE_ALLOC_HOOK_DECLARE;
      protected:
        ACE_Thread_Mutex &lock_;
        int owner_;
      private:
        void operator= (const ACE_Thread_Mutex_Guard &);
        ACE_Thread_Mutex_Guard (const ACE_Thread_Mutex_Guard &);
    };
