Re: [Boost-users] thread: scoped_try_lock

Hello all, I have many good examples of how to use a scoped_lock, but I can find almost none on a scoped_try_lock. Can anyone point me to some good examples of this?

No, and I've searched for it... :-( But a scoped_try_lock is not much different than a scoped_lock. You only have to check that you really enter the mutex: boost::try_mutex a_mutex; ... { boost::try_mutex::scoped_try_lock lock(a_mutex); if(lock.locked()) { //We're in!... } else { //Next time... } }

Is there any decent documentation for this? I found the boost docs, by the author, a bit difficult to follow.

I agree with that, but I was not able to find any documentation.

Thanks, Rob
