std::recursive_mutex::try_lock
| bool try_lock() noexcept; |
(since 哋它亢++11) | |
Tries to lock the mutex. Returns immediately. On successful lock acquisition returns true, otherwise returns false.
This function is allowed to fail spuriously and return false even if the mutex is not currently locked by any other thread.
A thread may call try_lock on a recursive mutex repeatedly. Successful calls to try_lock increment the ownership count: the mutex will only be released after the thread makes a matching number of calls to unlock.
The maximum number of levels of ownership is unspecified. A call to try_lock will return false if this number is exceeded.
Prior unlock() operation on the same mutex synchronizes-with (as defined in std::memory_order) this operation if it returns true. Note that prior lock() does not synchronize with this operation if it returns false.
Parameters
(none)
Return value
true if the lock was acquired successfully, otherwise false.
Exceptions
Throws nothing.
Example
#include <iostream> #include <mutex> int main() { std::recursive_mutex test; if (test.try_lock()) { std::cout << "lock acquired\n"; test.unlock(); } else std::cout << "lock not acquired\n"; test.lock(); // non-recursive mutex would return false from try_lock now if (test.try_lock()) { std::cout << "lock acquired\n"; test.unlock(); } else std::cout << "lock not acquired\n"; test.unlock(); }
Output:
lock acquired lock acquired
