null_mutex

[mutex.null_mutex]

A null_mutex is a class that models the Mutex requirement concept syntactically, but does nothing. It is useful for instantiating a template that expects a Mutex, but no mutual exclusion is actually needed for that instance.

// Defined in header <tbb/null_mutex.h>

namespace tbb {
    class null_mutex {
    public:
        constexpr null_mutex() noexcept;
        ~null_mutex();

        null_mutex(const null_mutex&) = delete;
        null_mutex& operator=(const null_mutex&) = delete;

        class scoped_lock;

        void lock();
        bool try_lock();
        void unlock();

        static constexpr bool is_rw_mutex = false;
        static constexpr bool is_recursive_mutex = true;
        static constexpr bool is_fair_mutex = true;
    };
}
