I need to hide boost locks from the rest of my code. I have a factory
class that creates locks ( we have ACE and Boost locks implemented).
to create the locks, in boost, we use the new keyword and to unlock (
release the lock ) we delete the locks. The mutex object using which the
locks are created are shared among the threads .
// create lock
//my_mutex is a mutex factory object with b_mutex as a public member of
type Boost::mutex
boost::mutex::scoped_lock* lk = new boost::mutex::scoped_lock(
my_mutex->b_mutex );
// deletion of lock
delete lk;
is this a correct way to do this ??
Thanks,
Dhanvi..
