bool try_lock();
(since C++11)

Tries to lock the associated mutex without blocking. Effectively calls mutex()->try_lock().

std::system_error is thrown if there is no associated mutex or if the mutex is already locked by this std::unique_lock.

Parameters

(none)

Return value

true if the ownership of the mutex has been acquired successfully, false otherwise.

Exceptions

  • Any exceptions thrown by mutex()->try_lock() (Mutex types do not throw in try_lock, but a custom Lockable might)
