Hi,
I all the time use mutexs and conditions in in following manner:
// declaration
Type m_value;
mutex m_value_mutex;
condition m_value_condition;
// set new value
{
mutex::scoped_lock lock(m_mutex);
m_value = new_value;
}
// wait for some condition
{
mutex::scoped_lock lock(m_mutex);
while(<condition>)
m_condition.wait(lock);
}
I'm wondering about something like this:
// declaration
monitor<Type> m_value;
// set new value - locking in done in a monitor assignment
m_value = new_value
// wait for some condition
m_value.wait(<lambda expression>)
Do you think this concept is generally useful and should be added to the
library?
Regards,
Vaclav
