std::mutex

Member functions

mutex::mutex

mutex::~mutex

Locking

mutex::lock

mutex::try_lock

mutex::unlock

Native handle

mutex::native_handle

 

constexpr mutex();	(1)	(since C++11)
mutex( const mutex& ) = delete;	(2)	(since C++11)

1) Constructs the mutex. The mutex is in unlocked state after the constructor completes.

2) Copy constructor is deleted.

Parameters

(none)

Exceptions

noexcept specification:  

noexcept

  

Notes

Because the default constructor is constexpr, static mutexes are initialized as part of static non-local initialization, before any dynamic non-local initialization begins. This makes it safe to lock a mutex in a constructor of any static object.
