null_rw_mutex

[mutex.null_rw_mutex]

A null_rw_mutex is a class that models the ReaderWriterMutex requirement syntactically, but does nothing. The null_rw_mutex class also satisfies all syntactic requirements of shared mutex type from the [thread.sharedmutex.requirements] ISO C++ section, but does nothing. It is useful for instantiating a template that expects a ReaderWriterMutex, but no mutual exclusion is actually needed for that instance.

// Defined in header <tbb/null_rw_mutex.h>

namespace tbb {
    class null_rw_mutex {
    public:
        constexpr null_rw_mutex() noexcept;
        ~null_rw_mutex();

        null_rw_mutex(const null_rw_mutex&) = delete;
        null_rw_mutex& operator=(const null_rw_mutex&) = delete;

        class scoped_lock;

        void lock();
        bool try_lock();
        void unlock();

        void lock_shared();
        bool try_lock_shared();
        void unlock_shared();

        static constexpr bool is_rw_mutex = true;
        static constexpr bool is_recursive_mutex = true;
        static constexpr bool is_fair_mutex = true;
    };
}

Member classes

class scoped_lock

Corresponding scoped_lock class. See the ReaderWriterMutex requirement.

Member functions

null_rw_mutex()

Constructs unlocked mutex.

~null_rw_mutex()

Destroys unlocked mutex.

void lock()

bool try_lock()

Attempts to acquire a lock (non-blocking) on write. Returns true.

void unlock()

Releases a write lock held by the current thread.

void lock_shared()
