/**
 * @class ACE_Null_Semaphore
 *
 * @brief Implement a do nothing ACE_Semaphore, i.e., all the methods are
 * no ops.
 *
 * Although the methods are no-ops, the return values are different for
 * the blocking as opposed to timed acquires.  The blocking version of
 * acquire() is often used to serialize access to a critical section,
 * whereas the timed version is often used to wait for another thread
 * to update some condition or change some shared state.  When using an
 * ACE_Null_Semaphore, however, there's no other thread involved to
 * change a state or condition (otherwise, a null semaphore would be
 * inappropriate).  Returning an error value signifies that the
 * state or condition has not been (and can't be) changed, which is
 * consistent with the behavior of the threaded case where a timeout
 * occurs before the state or condition is changed.
