Re: [Boost-users] How to manually lock and unlock a mutex?

Hi there, I'm converting over our codebase to make use of the boost libs. Is there a way to manually lock and unlock a boost:mutex? Or, is there a conditional lock available? I know there is boost::mutex::scoped_lock that does it automatically.

Here is code example that, I think, requires manual locking:

void foo() {

if( condition ) oMutex.lock;

do something

if( condition ) oMutex.unlock;

}

void foo() { mutex::scoped_lock lock( oMutex, condition ); // do something }
