TimedMutex

The TimedMutex concept extends the TimedLockable concept to include inter-thread synchronization.

Requirements

• TimedLockable
• Mutex

Additionally, for object m of TimedMutex type.

• The expression m.try_lock_for(duration) has the following properties
  • Behaves as an atomic operation.
  • Attempts to obtain exclusive ownership of the mutex within the duration specified by duration. If duration is less or equal duration.zero(), attempts to obtain the ownership without locking (as if by try_lock()). Otherwise, this function blocks until the mutex is acquired or until the time specified by duration passes. It returns within duration only if it succeeds, but it allowed to fail to acquire the mutex even if at some point in time during duration it was not owned by another thread. In any case, it returns true if the mutex was acquired and false otherwise.
  • If try_lock_for(duration) succeeds, prior unlock() operations on the same object synchronize-with this operation (equivalent to release-acquire std::memory_order).
  • The behavior is undefined if the calling thread already owns the mutex (except if m is std::recursive_timed_mutex)
• The expression m.try_lock_until(time_point) has the following properties
  • Behaves as an atomic operation.
  • Attempts to obtain exclusive ownership of the mutex within the time left until time_point. If time_point already passed, attempts to obtain the ownership without locking (as if by try_lock()). Otherwise, this function blocks until the mutex is acquired or until the time specified by time_point passes. It returns before time_point only if it succeeds, but it allowed to fail to acquire the mutex even if at some point in time before time_point it was not owned by another thread. In any case, it returns true if the mutex was acquired and false otherwise.
  • If try_lock_until(time_point) succeeds, prior unlock() operations on the same object synchronize-with this operation (equivalent to release-acquire std::memory_order).
  • The behavior is undefined if the calling thread already owns the mutex (except if m is std::recursive_timed_mutex)
