Compounds
class	condition
	A condition variable. More...
class	guard
	A class which acquires a lock on creating and destroys it on destruction. More...
class	mutex
	A non-recusive mutual-exclusion lock. More...

Defines
#define	locking(m)   if (guard<> __nmstl_guard = m) { while(true) ; } else
	A control structure which acquires a lock at the beginning of a block and releases it whenever the block exits.
#define	locking_T(m, T)   if (guard<T> __nmstl_guard = m) { while(true) ; } else
	Similar to locking(m), but usable for arbitrarily-typed locks.
Functions

Variables
	NMSTL_NAMESPACE_BEGIN
	NMSTL_NAMESPACE_END

Define Documentation

#define locking (  m    )     if (guard<> __nmstl_guard = m) { while(true) ; } else

A control structure which acquires a lock at the beginning of a block and releases it whenever the block exits. It is typically used like so: mutex my_mutex; int my_function() { locking (mutex) { do_some_exclusive_stuff(); if (some_condition()) return 1; do_other_stuff(); } return 0; }

#define locking_T (  m, T    )     if (guard<T> __nmstl_guard = m) { while(true) ; } else

Similar to locking(m), but usable for arbitrarily-typed locks.
