shared_lock( mutex_type& m, (7) (since C++14)

const std::chrono::duration<Rep,Period>& timeout_duration );

const std::chrono::time_point<Clock,Duration>& timeout_time );

Constructs a shared_lock, optionally locking the supplied mutex.

1) Constructs a shared_lock with no associated mutex.
2) Move constructor. Initializes the shared_lock with the contents of other. Leaves
other with no associated mutex.
3-8) Constructs a shared_lock with m as the associated mutex. Additionally:
3) Locks the associated mutex in shared mode by calling m.lock_shared().
4) Does not lock the associated mutex.
5) Tries to lock the associated mutex in shared mode without blocking by calling
m.try_lock_shared().
6) Assumes the calling thread already holds a shared lock (i.e., a lock acquired by
lock_shared, try_lock_shared, try_lock_shared_for, or try_lock_shared_until) on m.
The behavior is undefined if not so.
7) Tries to lock the associated mutex in shared mode by calling
m.try_lock_shared_for(timeout_duration), which blocks until specified
timeout_duration has elapsed or the lock is acquired, whichever comes first. May
block for longer than timeout_duration. The behavior is undefined if Mutex does not
meet the SharedTimedLockable requirements.
8) Tries to lock the associated mutex in shared mode by calling
m.try_lock_shared_until(timeout_time), which blocks until specified timeout_time has
been reached or the lock is acquired, whichever comes first. May block for longer
than until timeout_time has been reached. The behavior is undefined if Mutex does
not meet the SharedTimedLockable requirements.

Parameters

other - another shared_lock to initialize the state with
m - mutex to associate with the lock and optionally acquire ownership
of
t - tag parameter used to select constructors with different locking
strategies
timeout_duration - maximum duration to block for
timeout_time - maximum time point to block until

Example

// Run this code

#include <shared_mutex>
#include <syncstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
#include <chrono>

std::shared_timed_mutex m;
int i = 10;

void read_shared_var(int id)
{
// both the threads get access to the integer i
std::shared_lock<std::shared_timed_mutex> slk(m);
const int ii = i; // reads global i

std::osyncstream(std::cout) << "#" << id << " read i as " << ii << "...\n";
std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(10));
std::osyncstream(std::cout) << "#" << id << " woke up..." << std::endl;
}

int main()
{
std::thread r1 {read_shared_var, 1};
std::thread r2 {read_shared_var, 2};

r1.join();
r2.join();
}

Possible output:

#2 read i as 10...
#1 read i as 10...
#2 woke up...
#1 woke up...
