Create a scoped guard that conditionally manages the specified `lock` (if non‐null) and invokes `lock‐>lock()`. Supplying a null `lock` has no effect. The behavior is undefined unless `lock` (if non‐null) is not already locked by this thread. Note that `lock` must remain valid throughout the lifetime of this guard, or until `release` is called.
