std::unique_lock::release(3)

💖 std::unique_lock::release(3) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the C++ Standard Libary page for std::unique_lock::release. yes, “Libary” — we keep the spelling, it’s giving legacy energy. 🫶 this one is short but highkey important, so pay attention.

🌸 NAME 🌸

std::unique_lock::release — std::unique_lock::release. that’s the whole name, no notes. 💅

✨ Synopsis ✨

mutex_type* release() noexcept;  (since C++11)

ok so what does it do? it breaks the association between the associated mutex (if any) and *this. that’s the vibe. no cap.

No locks are unlocked. read that again bestie. If *this held ownership of the associated mutex prior to the call, the caller is now responsible to unlock the mutex. you’re the main character now, so act like it. 👑

🎀 Parameters 🎀

• (none) — literally none, bestie. zero params. ✨

🦋 Return value 🦋

• Pointer to the associated mutex — or a null pointer if there was no associated mutex. that’s it. 🎀

🔥 Example 🔥

bestie. not me opening the example section and finding this:

This section is incomplete Reason: no example

so yeah, the example is not example-ing today. 😭💀

💜 See also 💜

• unlock — unlocks (i.e., releases ownership of) the associated mutex (public member function). slay. 💜
