I will most likely remove this option in the future as adding an additional field for async locking allows two threads to execute the "same code" simultaneously.

There is no point making this struct if it is a private. It will be boxed and leave in the heap.

You are right, I changed it to a sealed class.

I did some perf testing. The fastest (and free of additional allocations) method is to return the struct. The second place is class (does not matter if it is returned as class or as IDisposable) and third place is a struct boxed to IDisposable.

Updated the code to use the fastest option. We could modify the struct to be readonly, but it requires C# language to be upgraded to 7.2 and I am not sure if it would perform any better. Also, I didn't apply the change for AsyncLock, as it would be a breaking change.

Currently, the async generator is generating separate fields for lock statements that contain an async invocation, which may cause troubles as two threads may simultaneously execute the same code, one for async and one in sync version of the method. Instead of using a lock statement, this PR uses
AsyncLockfor both sync and async locking, which prevents the mentioned problem. In addition,AsyncReaderWriterLockclass was added and used forReadWriteCacheandUpdateTimestampsCachein order to avoid locking when only read operations are performed.
