[section:mutex_concepts Mutex Concepts]

A mutex object facilitates protection against data races and allows thread-safe synchronization of data between threads. A thread
obtains ownership of a mutex object by calling one of the lock functions and relinquishes ownership by calling the corresponding
unlock function. Mutexes may be either recursive or non-recursive, and may grant simultaneous ownership to one or many
threads. __boost_thread__ supplies recursive and non-recursive mutexes with exclusive ownership semantics, along with a shared
ownership (multiple-reader / single-writer) mutex.

__boost_thread__ supports four basic concepts for lockable objects: __lockable_concept_type__, __timed_lockable_concept_type__,
__shared_lockable_concept_type__ and __upgrade_lockable_concept_type__. Each mutex type implements one or more of these concepts, as
do the various lock types.

[section:basic_lockable `BasicLockable` Concept]

  // #include <boost/thread/lockable_concepts.hpp> 

  namespace boost 
  {

    template<typename L>
    class BasicLockable; // EXTENSION
  }


The __BasicLockable concept models exclusive ownership. 
A type `L` meets the __BasicLockable requirements if the following expressions are well-formed and have the specified semantics (`m` denotes a value of type `L`):

* `m.__lock();`
* `m.__unlock();`

Lock ownership acquired through a call to __lock_ref__ must be released through a call to __unlock_ref__.

[section:lock `m.lock();`]

[variablelist

[[Requires:] [The calling thread doesn't owns the mutex if the mutex is not recursive.]]

[[Effects:] [The current thread blocks until ownership can be obtained for the current thread.]]

[[Synchronization:] [Prior `unlock()` operations on the same object synchronizes with this operation. ]]

[[Postcondition:] [The current thread owns `m`.]]

[[Return type:] [`void`.]]

[[Throws:] [__lock_error__ if an error occurs.]]

[[Error Conditions:] [

[*operation_not_permitted]: if the thread does not have the privilege to perform the operation.

[*resource_deadlock_would_occur]:  if the implementation detects that a deadlock would occur.

[*device_or_resource_busy]: if the mutex is already locked and blocking is not possible.

]]

[[Thread safety:] [If an exception is thrown then a lock shall not have been acquired for the current thread.]]

]
[endsect]

[section:unlock `m.unlock();`]

[variablelist

[[Requires:] [The current thread owns `m`.]]

[[Synchronization:] [This operation synchronizes with subsequent lock operations that obtain ownership on the same object.]]

[[Effects:] [Releases a lock on `m` by the current thread.]]

[[Return type:] [`void`.]]

[[Throws:] [Nothing.]]

  namespace boost 
  {
    namespace sync 
    {
      template<typename L>
      class is_basic_lockable;// EXTENSION
    }
  }


Some of the algorithms on mutexes use this trait via SFINAE. 

This trait is true_type if the parameter L meets the __Lockable requirements.

[warning If BOOST_THREAD_NO_AUTO_DETECT_MUTEX_TYPES is defined you will need to specialize this traits for the models of BasicLockable you could build.]

[section:lockable `Lockable` Concept]

  // #include <boost/thread/lockable_concepts.hpp> 
  namespace boost 
  {
    template<typename L>
    class Lockable;
  }

A type `L` meets the __Lockable requirements if it meets the __BasicLockable requirements and the following expressions are well-formed and have the specified semantics (`m` denotes a value of type `L`):

* `m.__try_lock()`

Lock ownership acquired through a call to __try_lock_ref__ must be released through a call to __unlock_ref__.

[section:try_lock `m.try_lock()`]

[variablelist


[[Requires:] [The calling thread doesn't owns the mutex if the mutex is not recursive.]]

[[Effects:] [Attempt to obtain ownership for the current thread without blocking.]]

[[Synchronization:] [If `try_lock()` returns true, prior `unlock()` operations on the same object synchronize with this operation.]]

[[Note:] [Since `lock()` does not synchronize with a failed subsequent
`try_lock()`, the visibility rules are weak enough that little would be known about the state after a
failure, even in the absence of spurious failures.]]

[[Return type:] [`bool`.]]

[[Returns:] [`true` if ownership was obtained for the current thread, `false` otherwise.]]

[[Postcondition:] [If the call returns `true`, the current thread owns the `m`.]]

[[Throws:] [Nothing.]]

[section:recursive Recursive Lockable Concept]

The user could require that the mutex passed to an algorithm is a recursive one. Whether a lockable is recursive or not can not be checked using template meta-programming. This is the motivation for the following trait.


[section:is_recursive_mutex_sur_parole `is_recursive_mutex_sur_parole` trait -- EXTENSION]

  // #include <boost/thread/lockable_traits.hpp> 

  namespace boost 
  {
    namespace sync 
    {
      template<typename L>
      class is_recursive_mutex_sur_parole: false_type; // EXTENSION
      template<>
      class is_recursive_mutex_sur_parole<recursive_mutex>: true_type; // EXTENSION
      template<>
      class is_recursive_mutex_sur_parole<timed_recursive_mutex>: true_type; // EXTENSION
    }
  }

The trait `is_recursive_mutex_sur_parole` is `false_type` by default and is specialized for the provide `recursive_mutex` and `timed_recursive_mutex`. 

It should be specialized by the user providing other model of recursive lockable.

  // #include <boost/thread/lockable_concepts.hpp> 

  namespace boost 
  {
    template<typename L>
    class TimedLockable; // EXTENSION
  }

The __timed_lockable_concept__ refines the __lockable_concept__ to add support for
timeouts when trying to acquire the lock.

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.

[*Variables:]

* `m` denotes a value of type `L`, 
* `rel_time` denotes a value of an instantiation of `chrono::duration`, and 
* `abs_time` denotes a value of an instantiation of `chrono::time_point`:

[*Expressions:]

* `m.__try_lock_for(rel_time)`
* `m.__try_lock_until(abs_time)`

Lock ownership acquired through a call to __try_lock_for or __try_lock_until must be released through a call to __unlock.

[section:try_lock_until `m.try_lock_until(abs_time)`]

[variablelist

[[Requires:] [The calling thread doesn't owns the mutex if the mutex is not recursive.]]

[[Effects:] [Attempt to obtain ownership for the current thread. Blocks until ownership can be obtained, or the specified time is
reached. If the specified time has already passed, behaves as __try_lock_ref__.]]

[[Synchronization:] [If `try_lock_until()` returns true, prior `unlock()` operations on the same object synchronize with this operation.]]

[[Return type:] [`bool`.]]

[[Returns:] [`true` if ownership was obtained for the current thread, `false` otherwise.]]

  // #include <boost/thread/lockable_concepts.hpp> 

  namespace boost 
  {
    template<typename L>
    class SharedLockable;  // C++14
  }


The __shared_lockable_concept__ is a refinement of the __timed_lockable_concept__ that
allows for ['shared ownership] as well as ['exclusive ownership]. This is the
standard multiple-reader / single-write model: at most one thread can have
exclusive ownership, and if any thread does have exclusive ownership, no other threads
can have shared or exclusive ownership. Alternatively, many threads may have
shared ownership.

A type `L` meets the __SharedLockable requirements if it meets the __TimedLockable requirements and the following expressions are well-formed and have the specified semantics.

[*Variables:]

* `m` denotes a value of type `L`, 
* `rel_time` denotes a value of an instantiation of `chrono::duration`, and 
* `abs_time` denotes a value of an instantiation of `chrono::time_point`:

[*Expressions:]

* `m.__try_lock_shared()`
* `m.__try_lock_shared_for(rel_time)`

[section:upgrade_lockable `UpgradeLockable` Concept -- EXTENSION]

  // #include <boost/thread/lockable_concepts.hpp> 

  namespace boost 
  {
    template<typename L>
    class UpgradeLockable; // EXTENSION
  }


The __upgrade_lockable_concept__ is a refinement of the __shared_lockable_concept__ that allows for ['upgradable ownership] as well
as ['shared ownership] and ['exclusive ownership]. This is an extension to the multiple-reader / single-write model provided by the
__shared_lockable_concept__: a single thread may have ['upgradable ownership] at the same time as others have ['shared
ownership]. The thread with ['upgradable ownership] may at any time attempt to upgrade that ownership to ['exclusive ownership]. If
no other threads have shared ownership, the upgrade is completed immediately, and the thread now has ['exclusive ownership], which
must be relinquished by a call to __unlock_ref__, just as if it had been acquired by a call to __lock_ref__.

If a thread with ['upgradable ownership] tries to upgrade whilst other threads have ['shared ownership], the attempt will fail and
the thread will block until ['exclusive ownership] can be acquired.

Ownership can also be ['downgraded] as well as ['upgraded]: exclusive ownership of an implementation of the
__upgrade_lockable_concept__ can be downgraded to upgradable ownership or shared ownership, and upgradable ownership can be
downgraded to plain shared ownership.

A type `L` meets the __UpgradeLockable requirements if it meets the __SharedLockable 
requirements and the following expressions are well-formed and have the specified semantics.

[*Variables:]

* `m` denotes a value of type `L`, 
* `rel_time` denotes a value of an instantiation of `chrono::duration`, and 
* `abs_time` denotes a value of an instantiation of `chrono::time_point`:

[*Expressions:]

* `m.__lock_upgrade();`
* `m.__unlock_upgrade()`
* `m.__try_lock_upgrade()`
* `m.__try_lock_upgrade_for(rel_time)`
* `m.__try_lock_upgrade_until(abs_time)`
* `m.__unlock_and_lock_shared()`
* `m.__unlock_and_lock_upgrade();`
* `m.__unlock_upgrade_and_lock();`
* `m.__try_unlock_upgrade_and_lock()`
* `m.__try_unlock_upgrade_and_lock_for(rel_time)`
* `m.__try_unlock_upgrade_and_lock_until(abs_time)`
* `m.__unlock_upgrade_and_lock_shared();`


If `BOOST_THREAD_PROVIDES_SHARED_MUTEX_UPWARDS_CONVERSIONS is defined the following expressions are also required:

* `m.__try_unlock_shared_and_lock();`
* `m.__try_unlock_shared_and_lock_for(rel_time);`
* `m.__try_unlock_shared_and_lock_until(abs_time);`
* `m.__try_unlock_shared_and_lock_upgrade();`
* `m.__try_unlock_shared_and_lock_upgrade_for(rel_time);`
* `m.__try_unlock_shared_and_lock_upgrade_until(abs_time);`


Lock ownership acquired through a call to __lock_upgrade_ref__ must be released through a call to __unlock_upgrade_ref__. If the
ownership type is changed through a call to one of the `unlock_xxx_and_lock_yyy()` functions, ownership must be released through a
call to the unlock function corresponding to the new level of ownership.

__lock_guard__ is very simple: on construction it
acquires ownership of the implementation of the __lockable_concept__ supplied as
the constructor parameter. On destruction, the ownership is released. This
provides simple RAII-style locking of a __lockable_concept_type__ object, to facilitate exception-safe
locking and unlocking. In addition, the [link
thread.synchronization.lock_guard.lock_guard.constructor_adopt `lock_guard(Lockable &
m,boost::adopt_lock_t)` constructor] allows the __lock_guard__ object to
take ownership of a lock already held by the current thread.

A StrictLock is a lock that ensures that the associated mutex is locked during the lifetime of the lock.

A type `L` meets the StrictLock requirements if the following expressions are well-formed and have the specified semantics 

* `L::mutex_type`
* `is_strict_lock<L>`
* `cl.owns_lock(m);`

and BasicLockable<L::mutex_type>

where

* `cl` denotes a value of type `L const&`,
* `m` denotes a value of type `L::mutex_type const*`,

[section: mutex_type `L::mutex_type`]

The type L::mutex_type denotes the mutex that is locked by this lock.

[endsect] [/ mutex_type]

[section:is_strict_lock_sur_parole `is_strict_lock_sur_parole<L>`]

As the semantic "ensures that the associated mutex is locked during the lifetime of the lock. " can not be described by syntactic requirements a `is_strict_lock_sur_parole` trait must be specialized by the user defining the lock so that the following assertion is true:

  is_strict_lock_sur_parole<L>::value == true

[section Models]

The following classes are models of `StrictLock`:

* strict_lock: ensured by construction,
* nested_strict_lock: "sur parole" as the user could use adopt_lock_t on unique_lock constructor overload without having locked the mutex,
* __lock_guard__: "sur parole" as the user could use adopt_lock_t constructor overload without having locked the mutex.

__unique_lock__ is more complex than __lock_guard__: not only does it provide for RAII-style locking, it also allows for deferring
acquiring the lock until the __lock_ref__ member function is called explicitly, or trying to acquire the lock in a non-blocking
fashion, or with a timeout. Consequently, __unlock_ref__ is only called in the destructor if the lock object has locked the
__lockable_concept_type__ object, or otherwise adopted a lock on the __lockable_concept_type__ object.

Specializations of __unique_lock__ model the __TimedLockable concept if the supplied `Lockable` type itself models
__TimedLockable concept (e.g. `boost::unique_lock<boost::timed_mutex>`), or the __Lockable concept if the supplied `Lockable` type itself models
__Lockable concept (e.g. `boost::unique_lock<boost::mutex>`), or the __BasicLockable concept if the supplied `Lockable` type itself models
__BasicLockable concept. 

An instance of __unique_lock__ is said to ['own] the lock state of a __lockable_concept_type__ `m` if __mutex_func_ref__ returns a
pointer to `m` and __owns_lock_ref__ returns `true`. If an object that ['owns] the lock state of a __lockable_concept_type__ object
is destroyed, then the destructor will invoke [unlock_ref_link `mutex()->unlock()`].

The member functions of __unique_lock__ are not thread-safe. In particular, __unique_lock__ is intended to model the ownership of a
__lockable_concept_type__ object by a particular thread, and the member functions that release ownership of the lock state
(including the destructor) must be called by the same thread that acquired ownership of the lock state.

Like __unique_lock__, __shared_lock__ models the __lockable_concept__, but rather than acquiring unique ownership of the supplied
__lockable_concept_type__ object, locking an instance of __shared_lock__ acquires shared ownership.

Like __unique_lock__, not only does it provide for RAII-style locking, it also allows for deferring acquiring the lock until the
__lock_ref__ member function is called explicitly, or trying to acquire the lock in a non-blocking fashion, or with a
timeout. Consequently, __unlock_ref__ is only called in the destructor if the lock object has locked the __lockable_concept_type__
object, or otherwise adopted a lock on the __lockable_concept_type__ object.

An instance of __shared_lock__ is said to ['own] the lock state of a __lockable_concept_type__ `m` if __mutex_func_ref__ returns a
pointer to `m` and __owns_lock_ref__ returns `true`. If an object that ['owns] the lock state of a __lockable_concept_type__ object
is destroyed, then the destructor will invoke [unlock_shared_ref_link `mutex()->unlock_shared()`].

The member functions of __shared_lock__ are not thread-safe. In particular, __shared_lock__ is intended to model the shared
ownership of a __lockable_concept_type__ object by a particular thread, and the member functions that release ownership of the lock
state (including the destructor) must be called by the same thread that acquired ownership of the lock state.

__strict_lock is a model of __StrictLock.

__strict_lock is the simplest __StrictLock: on construction it acquires ownership of the implementation of the __BasicLockable concept supplied as the constructor parameter. On destruction, the ownership is released. This provides simple RAII-style locking of a __BasicLockable object, to facilitate exception-safe locking and unlocking.

  }

__shared_lock_guard is very simple: on construction it
acquires shared ownership of the implementation of the __shared_lockable_concept__ supplied as
the constructor parameter. On destruction, the ownership is released. This
provides simple RAII-style locking of a __shared_lockable_concept_type__ object, to facilitate exception-safe
shared locking and unlocking. 
In addition, the `__shared_lock_guard_constructor_adopt(SharedLockable &m, boost::adopt_lock_t)` constructor allows the __shared_lock_guard object to
take shared ownership of a lock already held by the current thread.

__reverse_lock reverse the operations of a lock: it provide for RAII-style, that unlocks the lock at construction time and lock it at destruction time. In addition, it transfer ownership temporarily, so that the mutex can not be locked using the Lock.

An instance of __reverse_lock doesn't ['own] the lock never.
