So how you delete a lock ?? Is there any other safe way to delete a lock ?
I don't know what you are asking. Can you provide an example? Use the scoped lock concept. If you need to hide boost from the rest of the application then provide a wrapper around scoped lock I need to hide boost locks from the rest of my code. I have a factory class that creates locks ( we have ACE and Boost locks implemented). to create the locks, in boost, we use the new keyword and to unlock ( release the lock ) we delete the locks. The mutex object using which the locks are created are shared among the threads .
// create lock //my_mutex is a mutex factory object with b_mutex as a public member of type Boost::mutex boost::mutex::scoped_lock* lk = new boost::mutex::scoped_lock( my_mutex->b_mutex ); // deletion of lock delete lk; is this a correct way to do this ?? Thanks, Dhanvi..
