std::shared_lock
 
Defined in header <shared_mutex>
template< class Mutex >
class shared_lock;
 (since C++14)

The class shared_lock is a general-purpose shared mutex ownership wrapper allowing deferred locking, timed locking and transfer of lock ownership. Locking a shared_lock locks the associated shared mutex in shared mode (to lock it in exclusive mode, std::unique_lock can be used).

The shared_lock class is movable, but not copyable – it meets the requirements of MoveConstructible and MoveAssignable but not of CopyConstructible or CopyAssignable.

shared_lock meets the Lockable requirements. If Mutex meets the SharedTimedLockable requirements, shared_lock also meets TimedLockable requirements.

In order to wait in a shared mutex in shared ownership mode, std::condition_variable_any can be used (std::condition_variable requires std::unique_lock and so can only wait in unique ownership mode).
