I continue to believe that a better interface for a unified lock involves descriptively named helper functions:
scoped_lock l1( m ); // lock unconditionally scoped_lock l1 = defer_lock( m ); // don't lock scoped_lock l2 = try_lock( m ); // try lock scoped_lock l3 = timed_lock( m, t ); // timed lock
Maybe. Do you have a sketch of the specification? (Not the implementation.)
