Hello, all ...
I'm trying to wrap boost::mutex::scoped_lock in another class that hides all of the boosty things:
class Lock { public:
Lock(); ~Lock();
private:
boost::mutex mutex; boost::mutex::scoped_lock lock; };
Um. Maybe I'm missing something here, but this doesn't make any sense to me at all. The whole point of scoped_lock is that the lifetime of the mutex and scoped_lock lifetimes are *different*. Furthermore, you're not actually locking anything with your Lock class... you'd simply get a different mutex for each instance of Lock you create. In short: You'd need two wrapper classes, one for scoped_lock and one for mutex. Which means you might as well just use boost::mutex and boost::scoped_lock.
