std::mutex(3cxx)

💖 NAME 💖

std::mutex — the standard mutex type, bestie, and this page is from the 3cxx manual. She's simple, non-recursive, and non-timed, and she's about to get the full group-chat rundown 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <mutex>

Inherits __mutex_base.

🎀 Public Types 🎀

• typedef __native_type * native_handle_type — the native handle type, slay.

🌸 Public Member Functions 🌸

• mutex (const mutex &)=delete — copying? not happening, it's deleted.
• void lock () — the lock one (but bestie, read the warning below first 👀).
• native_handle_type native_handle () noexcept — grab the native handle, noexcept and all.
• mutex & operator= (const mutex &)=delete — assignment? also deleted, periodt.
• bool try_lock () noexcept — tries the lock and returns bool, noexcept.
• void unlock () — the unlock one (again: warning below, okay? 🫶).

🦋 Detailed Description 🦋

The standard mutex type.

A simple, non-recursive, non-timed mutex.

Do not call lock() and unlock() directly — seriously, bestie, use a scoped lock type such as std::unique_lock, std::lock_guard, or (since C++17) std::scoped_lock.

This is the part where you let the scoped lock do the main character work. Calling lock() and unlock() by hand is not the vibe 😭

⭐ Since ⭐

C++11 — that's when this icon entered the chat 💖

mwah 💖 — source/version libstdc++, page std::mutex(3cxx); the footer had no date line, so I'm not inventing one, bestie 🫶
