<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>detail/guard.hpp provides a type <span class=
"code">guard<Mutex></span> that allows scoped access to the
<span class="code">Mutex</span>'s locking and unlocking operations. It is
used to ensure that a <span class="code">Mutex</span> is unlocked, even if
an exception is thrown.</p>
<h2>Synopsis</h2>
<pre class="code">
namespace details {
namespace pool {
template <typename Mutex>
class guard
{
private:
guard(const guard &);
void operator=(const guard &);
public:
explicit guard(Mutex & mtx);
~guard();
};
} // namespace pool
} // namespace details
</pre>

<h2>Example</h2>
<p>Given a (platform-specific) <span class="code">mutex</span> class, we
can wrap code as follows:</p>
<pre class="code">
extern mutex global_lock;
static void f()
{
boost::details::pool::guard<mutex> g(global_lock);
// g's constructor locks "global_lock"
... // do anything:
// throw exceptions
// return
// or just fall through
} // g's destructor unlocks "global_lock"
</pre>
<h2>Dependencies</h2>
<p>None.</p>
<h2>Future Directions</h2>
<p>This header will eventually be replaced by a Boost multithreading
library.</p>
