Defined in header <condition_variable>
class condition_variable_any;		(since C++11)

The condition_variable_any class is a generalization of std::condition_variable. Whereas std::condition_variable works only on std::unique_lock<std::mutex>, condition_variable_any can operate on any lock that meets the BasicLockable requirements.

See std::condition_variable for the description of the semantics of condition variables.

The class std::condition_variable_any is a StandardLayoutType. It is not CopyConstructible, MoveConstructible, CopyAssignable, or MoveAssignable.

If the lock is std::unique_lock<std::mutex>, std::condition_variable may provide better performance.

Member functions

(constructor)	constructs the object (public member function)
(destructor)	destructs the object (public member function)
operator= [deleted]	not copy-assignable (public member function)
Notification
notify_one	notifies one waiting thread (public member function)
notify_all	notifies all waiting threads (public member function)
Waiting
wait	blocks the current thread until the condition variable is awakened (public member function)
wait_for	blocks the current thread until the condition variable is awakened or after the specified timeout duration (public member function)
wait_until	blocks the current thread until the condition variable is awakened or until specified time point has been reached (public member function)

Notes

std::condition_variable_any can be used with std::shared_lock in order to wait on a std::shared_mutex in shared ownership mode.

A possible use for std::condition_variable_any with custom Lockable types is to provide convenient interruptible waits: the custom lock operation would both lock the associated mutex as expected, and also perform the necessary setup to notify this condition variable when the interrupting signal is received.
