  <h1 align="center">guard - Auto-lock/unlock-er</h1>

  <h2>Introduction</h2>

  <p>detail/guard.hpp provides a type <span class=
  "code">guard&lt;Mutex&gt;</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 &lt;typename Mutex&gt;
class guard
{
  private:
    guard(const guard &amp;);
    void operator=(const guard &amp;);

  public:
    explicit guard(Mutex &amp; mtx);
    ~guard();
};

} // namespace pool
} // namespace details
</pre>

  <h2>Semantics</h2>

    </tr>
  </table><br>

  <table border align="center" summary="">
    <caption>
      <em>Requirements satisfied by <span class="code">guard</span></em>
    </caption>

    <tr>
      <th>Expression</th>

      <th>Assertion/Note/Pre/Post-Condition</th>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td class="code">T(m)</td>

      <td>Locks the mutex referred to by <span class="code">m</span>; binds
      <span class="code">T(m)</span> to <span class="code">m</span></td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td class="code">(&amp;g)-&gt;~T()</td>

      <td>Unlocks the mutex that <span class="code">g</span> is bound to</td>
    </tr>
  </table>

  <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&lt;mutex&gt; 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>
