A wrapper for data protected by a lock that does not wrap it. use super::{Guard, Lock}; use core::{cell::UnsafeCell, ops::Deref, ptr}; /// Allows access to some data to be serialised by a lock that does not wrap it. /// /// In most cases, data protected by a lock is wrapped by the appropriate lock type, e.g., /// [`super::Mutex`] or [`super::SpinLock`].
