Hello. I'm designing a class with a locking policy. I have some code
that does exaclty this:
if (cond) {
locking_policy_.lock();
out << message.message();
locking_policy_.unlock();
}
return *this;
And the lockingpolicy is a class like this one:
struct ThreadSafe {
boost::mutex io_mutex_;
boost::unique_lock<boost::mutex> lock_;
ThreadSafe() : io_mutex_(), lock_(io_mutex_, boost::defer_lock) {}
void lock() {
std::cout << "Locking from " << boost::this_thread::get_id() << std::endl;
lock_.lock();
}
void unlock() {
std::cout << "Unlocking from " << boost::this_thread::get_id() << std::endl;
lock_.unlock();
}
};
Then, I create 3 threads and join them in the same order I created them:
boost::thread t1(&doSomething, "Hello1", boost::ref(logsink));
boost::thread t2(&doSomething, "Hello2", boost::ref(logsink));
boost::thread t3(&doSomehting, "Hello3", boost::ref(logsink));
t1.join();
t2.join();
t3.join();
and I get a lock_error. Any help here, please? I can't figure out the problem.
You used the *same* lock to lock & unlock the mutex in different threads, each thread should use its own lock.
