I think this is my own fault.

I'm debugging some issues with multi-threading and using boost  
scoped_lock.

My code looks like this:

        {
                // Enqueue the notification to be processed
                scoped_lock(m_notifications.lock);
                m_notifications.sources->push(note);
        }

Am I correct in assuming this is not going to work as expected? The  
compiler might not even instantiate the lock given this code?

I need to write it like this?

        {
                // Enqueue the notification to be processed
                scoped_lock locked(m_notifications.lock);
                m_notifications.sources->push(note);
        }

Kind regards,
Samuel
