C++ boost::upgrade_lock upgrade_to_unique_lock 升级锁 是什么 怎么用

Posted 2021-09-09 软件工程小施同学

upgrade_lock将可将读锁（shared_lock）升级为upgrade_lock，与shared_lock不互斥，与别的upgrade_lock和unique_lock互斥。也就是说线程A获得mutex的upgrade_lock后，线程B、C等还可以获得mutex的share_mutex，反之亦然。

upgrade_to_unique_lock可将upgrade_lock升级为独占锁，不允许其它线程读或写

举例

Read Lock

I need lock positionMutex whenever I’m going to read from memory that this mutex should cover. I do this by using boost::shared_lock() , which allows multiple reads without blocking as long as the mutex hasn’t been upgraded to a unique lock.

boost::shared_lock<boost::shared_mutex> lock(this->positionMutex);

Write Lock

Whenever I write to my position properties, I need to upgrade the mutex to unique access so that other threads don’t read while the new value is being written. This is done by using boost::upgrade_lock  and  boost::upgrade_to_unique_lock as shown below .

boost::upgrade_lock<boost::shared_mutex> lock(this->positionMutex);

boost::upgrade_to_unique_lock<boost::shared_mutex> unique_lock(lock);
