[section:tutorial Tutorial]
[@http://home.roadrunner.com/~hinnant/mutexes/locking.html Handling mutexes in C++] is an excellent tutorial. You need just replace std and ting by boost.
[@http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2406.html Mutex, Lock, Condition Variable Rationale] adds rationale for the design decisions made for mutexes, locks and condition variables.
In addition to the C++11 standard locks, Boost.Thread provides other locks and some utilities that help the user to make their code thread-safe.
[include internal_locking.qbk]
[include external_locking.qbk]
[section:with Executing Around a Function]
In particular, the library provides some lock factories.
template <class Lockable, class Function>
auto with_lock_guard(Lockable& m, Function f) -> decltype(f())
{
auto&& _ = boost::make_lock_guard(m);
f();
}
that can be used as
int i = with_lock_guard(mtx, []()
{
// access the protected state
return true;
});
