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

From cppreference.com

The

TimedLockable

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

Requirements

Lockable

For type L to be TimedLockable, given

rel_time, a value of a specialization of

std::chrono::duration

, and

abs_time, a value of a specialization of

std::chrono::time_point

,

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

ExpressionEffectsReturn 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. Notes

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

Standard library

The following standard library types satisfy TimedLockable:

(C++11)

provides mutual exclusion facility which implements locking with a timeout
(class)

[edit]

(C++11)

provides mutual exclusion facility which can be locked recursively
by the same thread and implements locking with a timeout
(class)

[edit]

(C++14)

provides shared mutual exclusion facility and implements locking with a timeout
(class)
