Name

mutex Class — Class that models the Mutex Concept using underlying OS locks.

Synopsis

#include "tbb/mutex.h"class mutex;

Description

A mutex models the Mutex Concept. It is a wrapper around OS calls that provide mutual exclusion. Here are the advantages of using a mutex instead of the OS calls:

  • The mutex class is portable across all operating systems supported by Intel Threading Building Blocks.

  • The mutex releases the lock if an exception is thrown from the protected region of code.
