null_rw_mutex#

[mutex.null_rw_mutex]

A null_rw_mutex is a class that models the ReaderWriterMutex requirement syntactically, but does nothing. The null_rw_mutex class also satisfies all syntactic requirements of shared mutex type from the [thread.sharedmutex.requirements] ISO C++ section, but does nothing. It is useful for instantiating a template that expects a ReaderWriterMutex, but no mutual exclusion is actually needed for that instance.
