I could've gone with Howard's exclusive_lock, but it's a bit too lengthy and hard to type for repeated use.
I must admit that I find myself copy/pasting this name because of its length, especially when used in combination with the proposed templated condition: std::condition<std::exclusive_lock<std::mutex>> cv; I like Peter's approach in N2178 of giving typedefs to the common combinations of these types.
unique_lock (c.f. unique_ptr)?
Works for me. Or maybe (playing around with upgradable here - N2094): namespace std { typedef exclusive_lock<mutex> lock_this; typedef exclusive_lock<upgradable_mutex> write_lock; typedef sharable_lock<upgradable_mutex> read_lock; typedef upgradable_lock<upgradable_mutex> read_upgradable_lock; typedef basic_condition<lock_this> condition; typedef basic_condition<read_lock> read_waiter_condition; } -Howard
