C++ named requirements: TimedLockable (since C++11) (original) (raw)

The TimedLockable requirements describe the characteristics of types that provide timed exclusive blocking semantics for execution agents (threads, processes, tasks).

[edit] Requirements

For type **L** to be TimedLockable, given

the following conditions have to be satisfied for an object **m** of type **L**:

Expression Effects Return value
m.try_lock_for(rel_time) Blocks for the provided duration rel_time or until a lock on m is acquired. true if the lock was acquired, false otherwise.
m.try_lock_until(abs_time) Blocks until the provided time point abs_time is reached or a lock on m is acquired. true if the lock was acquired, false otherwise.

[edit] Notes

The try_lock_for and try_lock_until member functions obtain a non-shared lock on m on success.

[edit] Standard library

The following standard library types satisfy TimedLockable:

| | provides mutual exclusion facility which implements locking with a timeout (class) [edit] | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | provides mutual exclusion facility which can be locked recursivelyby the same thread and implements locking with a timeout (class) [edit] | | | provides shared mutual exclusion facility and implements locking with a timeout (class) [edit] |
