std::lock_guard
 
Defined in header <mutex>
template< class Mutex >
class lock_guard;

The class lock_guard is a mutex wrapper that provides a convenient RAII-style mechanism for owning a mutex for the duration of a scoped block.

When a lock_guard object is created, it attempts to take ownership of the mutex it is given. When control leaves the scope in which the lock_guard object was created, the lock_guard is destructed and the mutex is released.

The lock_guard class is non-copyable.

Template parameters

Mutex - the type of the mutex to lock. The type must meet the Template:concept requirements

Member functions

constructs a lock_guard, optionally locking the given mutex

destructs the lock_guard object, unlocks the underlying mutex

Example

#include <thread>
#include <mutex>
#include <iostream>
 
int g_i = 0;
std::mutex g_i_mutex;  // protects g_i
 
void safe_increment()
{
    std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(g_i_mutex);
    ++g_i;
 
    std::cout << std::this_thread::get_id() << ": " << g_i << '\n';
 
    // g_i_mutex is automatically released when lock
    // goes out of scope
}
 
int main()
{
    std::cout << __func__ << ": " << g_i << '\n';
 
    std::thread t1(safe_increment);
    std::thread t2(safe_increment);
 
    t1.join();
    t2.join();
 
    std::cout << __func__ << ": " << g_i << '\n';
}

Possible output:

main: 0
140641306900224: 1
140641298507520: 2
main: 2
