Thank you for the reply.

To clarify things in my mind:
Should I pass the lock itself to cond.wait for safety/correctness, or because this way I will get the desired behavior?

Hello users.

Documentation says that cond.wait(mtx) blocks the current thread and invokes
mtx.unlock().

What if I want cond.wait(mtx) to call mtx.unlock_shared() instead? Is there
any way to do so?


You should pass the unique_lock or shared_lock
to cond.wait, instead of passing the mutex itself.
