- *         and it shows the conflicting mask of that mode. j-th bit of the i-th
- *         entry is 1 if and only if i-th lock mode conflicts with the j-th lock
- *         mode.
- *         - i-th entry of the conversionTable corresponds to the i-th lock mode
- *         and it shows whether going from that mode to a new mode is actually a
- *         conversion or not. j-th bit of the i-th entry is 1 if and only if
- *         j-th lock mode is "stronger" than the i-th mode, i.e. lock changing
- *         from i-th mode to the j-th mode is actually a conversion.
