The class timed_mutex provides a non-recursive mutex with exclusive ownership semantics. If one thread owns a timed_mutex object, attempts by another thread to acquire ownership of that object will fail (for try_lock()) or block (for lock(), try_lock_for(), and try_lock_until()) until the owning thread has released ownership with a call to unlock() or the call to try_lock_for() or try_lock_until() times out (having failed to obtain ownership).

The class timed_mutex shall satisfy all of the timed mutex requirements ([thread.timedmutex.requirements]). It shall be a standard-layout class (Clause [class]).

The behavior of a program is undefined if:

  • (3.1)

    it destroys a timed_mutex object owned by any thread,

  • (3.2)

    a thread that owns a timed_mutex object calls lock(), try_lock(), try_lock_for(), or try_lock_until() on that object, or

  • (3.3)

    a thread terminates while owning a timed_mutex object.
