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 meets all of the timed mutex requirements ([thread.timedmutex.requirements]).
It is a standard-layout class ([class.prop]).
3
#
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() fail, and additional calls to lock() 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:
  • (4.1)
    it destroys a recursive_­timed_­mutex object owned by any thread, or
  • (4.2)
    a thread terminates while owning a recursive_­timed_­mutex object.
