Hi!

you could define a scope where to lock ;) Just like this:

boost::mutex a_mutex; ... { { boost::mutex::scoped_lock lock(a_mutex); //lock cout<<"bla"; }//end of scope => unlock

//much of code where cout dont has to be locked ... }

Or: foo() { boost::mutex::scoped_lock lk(a_mutex); cout << "bla" ; lk.unlock(); .... some other stuff unlocked lk.lock(); // lock again ..... } The lock is (conditionally) unlocked however when you leave the scope. Roland
