Your sample adaptor has given me the idea of not having an explicit timed_lock function, but rather overloads of try_lock:
bool try_lock(); // just try once bool try_lock(unsigned spin_count); // spin this many times bool try_lock(target_time_type target_time); // wait until the specified time bool try_lock(time_period_type wait_time); // wait for the specified period
Sorry, naive user just woke up and saw this fly by... Are there conversions from integral types to target_time_type and/or time_period_type? If so, I would be quite surprised if try_lock(1000) spun 1,000 times before failing, rather than 1,000 milliseconds (for instance). Cheers, Doug
