namespace std { class recursive_mutex { public: recursive_mutex(); ~recursive_mutex(); recursive_mutex(const recursive_mutex&) = delete; recursive_mutex& operator=(const recursive_mutex&) = delete; void lock(); bool try_lock() noexcept; void unlock(); using native_handle_type = implementation-defined; // see [thread.req.native] native_handle_type native_handle(); // see [thread.req.native] }; }

#
The class recursive_mutex provides a recursive mutex with exclusive ownership semantics.
If one thread owns a recursive_mutex object, attempts by another thread to acquire ownership of that object will fail (for try_lock()) or block (for lock()) until the first thread has completely released ownership.

#
The class recursive_mutex meets all of the mutex requirements ([thread.mutex.requirements]).
It is a standard-layout class ([class.prop]).

#
A thread that owns a recursive_mutex object may acquire additional levels of ownership by calling lock() or try_lock() on that object.
It is unspecified how many levels of ownership may be acquired by a single thread.
If a thread has already acquired the maximum level of ownership for a recursive_mutex object, additional calls to try_lock() fail, and additional calls to lock() throw an exception of type system_error.
A thread shall call unlock() once for each level of ownership acquired by calls to lock() and try_lock().
Only when all levels of ownership have been released may ownership be acquired by another thread.

The behavior of a program is undefined if
  • (4.1)
    it destroys a recursive_mutex object owned by any thread or
  • (4.2)
    a thread terminates while owning a recursive_mutex object.
