Platform-independent interface to a reader-writer mutex.
Declared in <bslmt_rwmutex.h>
class RWMutex;This class is a platform-independent interface to a reader-writer lock ("RW mutex"). Multiple readers can safely hold the lock simultaneously, whereas only one writer is allowed to hold the lock at a time. This class uses the most efficient RW mutex implementation available for the current platform. Note that the implementation may allow readers to starve writers.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
RWMutex [constructor] | Create an RW mutex initialized to an unlocked state. |
~RWMutex [destructor] | Destroy this RW mutex. The behavior is undefined if the mutex is in a locked state. |
lockRead | Lock this reader-writer mutex for reading. |
lockWrite | Lock this reader-writer mutex for writing. |
tryLockRead | Attempt to lock this reader-writer mutex for reading. |
tryLockWrite | Attempt to lock this reader-writer mutex for writing. |
unlock | Release the lock held by the calling thread on this mutex. |
