Detailed Description

RAII-style mechanism for owning a lock of Lockable object for the duration of a scoped block.

Template Parameters

Lockable The type implementing BasicLockable concept

Note

For type Lockable to be BasicLockable, the following conditions have to be satisfied:

has public member function lock which blocks until a lock can be obtained for the current execution context
has public member function unlock which releases the lock

Usage:

Example with rtos::Mutex

void foo(Mutex &m) {
    ScopedLock<Mutex> lock(m);
    // Mutex lock protects code in this block
}

More generic example

template<typename Lockable>
void foo(Lockable& lockable) {
    ScopedLock<Lockable> lock(lockable);
    // Code in this block runs under lock
}
