30 Thread support library [thread]

30.2 Requirements [thread.req]

30.2.5 Requirements for Lockable types [thread.req.lockable]

30.2.5.4 TimedLockable requirements [thread.req.lockable.timed]

A type L meets the TimedLockable requirements if it meets the Lockable requirements and the following expressions are well-formed and have the specified semantics (m denotes a value of type L, rel_time denotes a value of an instantiation of duration ([time.duration]), and abs_time denotes a value of an instantiation of time_point ([time.point])).

m.try_lock_for(rel_time)

Effects: Attempts to acquire a lock for the current execution agent within the relative timeout ([thread.req.timing]) specified by rel_time. The function shall not return within the timeout specified by rel_time unless it has obtained a lock on m for the current execution agent. If an exception is thrown then a lock shall not have been acquired for the current execution agent.

Return type: bool.

Returns: true if the lock was acquired, false otherwise.

m.try_lock_until(abs_time)

Effects: Attempts to acquire a lock for the current execution agent before the absolute timeout ([thread.req.timing]) specified by abs_time. The function shall not return before the timeout specified by abs_time unless it has obtained a lock on m for the current execution agent. If an exception is thrown then a lock shall not have been acquired for the current execution agent.

Return type: bool.

Returns: true if the lock was acquired, false otherwise.
