Detailed Description

This class waits for the semaphore on construction and automatically signals the semaphore on destruction.

Any descendent of PSemaphore may be used.

This is very useful for constructs such as:

    void func()
    {
      PWaitAndSignal mutexWait(myMutex);
      if (condition)
        return;
      do_something();
      if (other_condition)
        return;
      do_something_else();
    }
