C++ named requirements: SharedLockable
From cppreference.com
The SharedLockable requirements describe the minimal characteristics of types that provide shared blocking semantics for execution agents (i.e. threads).
Requirements
For type L
to be SharedLockable, the following conditions have to be satisfied for an object m
of type L
:
Expression | Type | Preconditions | Effects |
---|---|---|---|
m.lock_shared() | Blocks until a lock can be obtained for the current execution agent (thread, process, task). If an exception is thrown, no lock is obtained. | ||
m.try_lock_shared() | bool | Attempts to obtained a lock for the current execution agent (thread, process, task) without blocking. If an exception is thrown, no lock is obtained.
Returns true if and only if the lock is obtained. | |
m.unlock_shared() | The current execution agent holds a shared lock on m .
|
Releases the shared lock held by the execution agent.
Throws no exceptions. |
Notes
The lock_shared
and try_lock_shared
member functions obtain a shared lock on m
on succcess.
