template< class Mutex > class lock_guard; |
The class lock_guard is a mutex wrapper that provides a convenient RAII-style mechanism for owning a mutex for the duration of a scoped block.
When a lock_guard object is created, it attempts to take ownership of the mutex it is given. When control leaves the scope in which the lock_guard object was created, the lock_guard is destructed and the mutex is released.
The lock_guard class is non-copyable.
| Mutex | - | the type of the mutex to lock. The type must meet the BasicLockable requirements |
| Member type | Definition |

| constructs a lock_guard, optionally locking the given mutex (public member function) |

| destructs the lock_guard object, unlocks the underlying mutex (public member function) |
