This is certainly possible, but I don't see what the additional complexity buys us.

TryLock l( m, false );

if( l.try_lock() ) { }

looks acceptable to me.

TryLock l( m, non_blocking );

if( l.locked() ) { }

doesn't seem much of an improvement.

It does to me. I like names that say what they mean; false could easily be misinterpreted. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
