You could go as far as to say that since the function return itself
isn't wrapped in a mutex, the value can be obsolete before even the
function returns.
ie that code can sometimes return the wrong value :
def empty(self):
self.acquire_mutex()
result = self.count == 0
self.release_mutex()
return result before that line, some other thread added a value !
