std::unique_lock::try_lock_for

template< class Rep, class Period >
bool try_lock_for( const std::chrono::duration<Rep,Period>& timeout_duration );

Tries to lock the associated mutex. Blocks until specified timeout_duration has elapsed or the lock is acquired, whichever comes first. On successful lock acquisition returns true, otherwise returns false. Effectively calls mutex()->try_lock_for(timeout_duration).

A steady clock is used to measure the duration. This function may block for longer than timeout_duration due to scheduling or resource contention delays.

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

Parameters

Return value

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

Exceptions

• Any exceptions thrown by mutex()->try_lock_for(timeout_duration)
• If there is no associated mutex, std::system_error with an error code of std::errc::operation_not_permitted
• If the mutex is already locked, std::system_error with an error code of std::errc::resource_deadlock_would_occur
