vpMutex::vpScopedLock Class Reference

#include <visp3/core/vpMutex.h>

Public Member Functions

 vpScopedLock (vpMutex &mutex)
 
virtual ~vpScopedLock ()
 

Detailed Description

Class that allows protection by mutex.

The following example shows how to use this class to protect a portion of code from concurrent access. The scope of the mutex lock/unlock is determined by the constructor/destructor.

#include <visp3/core/vpMutex.h>
int main()
{
vpMutex mutex;
{
// shared var to protect
}
}

Without using vpScopedLock, the previous example would become:

#include <visp3/core/vpMutex.h>
int main()
{
vpMutex mutex;
{
mutex.lock();
// shared var to protect
mutex.unlock()
}
}
