* This file provides several different implementation of the functions,
* depending on the platform, the use of DEBUG_THREADS, and the way
* global mutexes are initialized.
* At the moment, we have 3 ways to initialize global mutexes, depending on
*
- * + static: the mutex is assigned the value AST_MUTEX_INIT_VALUE
+ * - \b static: the mutex is assigned the value AST_MUTEX_INIT_VALUE
* this is done at compile time, and is the way used on Linux.
* This method is not applicable to all platforms e.g. when the
* initialization needs that some code is run.
*
- * + on first use: the mutex is assigned a magic value at compile time,
+ * - \b on first use: the mutex is assigned a magic value at compile time,
* and ast_mutex_init() is called when this magic value is detected.
* This technique is generally applicable, though it has a bit of
* overhead on each access to check whether initialization is needed.
* On the other hand, the overall cost of a mutex_lock operation
* is such that this overhead is often negligible.
- * + through constructors: for each mutex, a constructor function is
+ * - \b through constructors: for each mutex, a constructor function is
* defined, which then runs when the program (or the module)
* starts. The problem with this approach is that there is a
* lot of code duplication (a new block of code is created for
