std::shared_lock
 Defined in header <shared_mutex>  |  ||
|---|---|---|
 template< class Mutex > class shared_lock;  |  (since C++14) | 
The class shared_lock is a general-purpose shared mutex ownership wrapper allowing deferred locking, timed locking and transfer of lock ownership. Locking a shared_lock locks the associated shared mutex in shared mode (to lock it in exclusive mode, std::unique_lock can be used).
The shared_lock class is movable, but not copyable -- it meets the requirements of MoveConstructible and MoveAssignable but not of CopyConstructible or CopyAssignable.
In order to wait in a shared mutex in shared ownership mode, std::condition_variable_any can be used (std::condition_variable requires std::unique_lock and so can only wait in unique ownership mode).
Template parameters
| Mutex | - | the type of the shared mutex to lock. The type must meet the SharedMutex requirements | 
Member types
| Type | Definition | 
|---|---|
 mutex_type  |   Mutex  | 
Member functions
 constructs a shared_lock, optionally locking the supplied mutex (public member function)  | 
|
|  unlocks the associated mutex  (public member function)  | 
|
|  unlocks the mutex, if owned, and acquires ownership of another  (public member function)  | 
|
 Shared locking | 
|
|  locks the associated mutex  (public member function)  | 
|
|  tries to lock the associated mutex  (public member function)  | 
|
|  tries to lock the associated mutex, for the specified duration  (public member function)  | 
|
|  tries to lock the associated mutex, until a specified time point  (public member function)  | 
|
|  unlocks the associated mutex  (public member function)  | 
|
 Modifiers | 
|
|  swaps the data members with another shared_lock  (public member function)  | 
|
|  disassociates the mutex without unlocking  (public member function)  | 
|
 Observers | 
|
|  returns a pointer to the associated mutex  (public member function)  | 
|
|  tests whether the lock owns its associated mutex  (public member function)  | 
|
|  tests whether the lock owns its associated mutex  (public member function)  | 
|
Non-member functions
 specialization of std::swap for shared_lock (function template)  |
