//       Class : Semaphore
// Description : A classic semaphore synchronization primitive.  
//
//               A semaphore manages an internal counter which is
//               decremented by each acquire() call and incremented by
//               each release() call. The counter can never go below
//               zero; when acquire() finds that it is zero, it
//               blocks, waiting until some other thread calls
//               release().
