The class recursive_timed_mutex provides a recursive mutex with exclusive ownership semantics. If one thread owns a recursive_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 completely released ownership or the call to try_lock_for() or try_lock_until() times out (having failed to obtain ownership).

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

A thread that owns a recursive_timed_mutex object may acquire additional levels of ownership by calling lock(), try_lock(), try_lock_for(), or try_lock_until() on that object. It is unspecified how many levels of ownership may be acquired by a single thread. If a thread has already acquired the maximum level of ownership for a recursive_timed_mutex object, additional calls to try_lock(), try_lock_for(), or try_lock_until() shall fail, and additional calls to lock() shall throw an exception of type system_error. A thread shall call unlock() once for each level of ownership acquired by calls to lock(), try_lock(), try_lock_for(), and try_lock_until(). Only when all levels of ownership have been released may ownership of the object be acquired by another thread.

The behavior of a program is undefined if:

  • it destroys a recursive_timed_mutex object owned by any thread, or

  • a thread terminates while owning a recursive_timed_mutex object.
