"Deadlock: The Problem and a Solution" Book Excerpt Online

Wednesday, 01 October 2008

An excerpt from my book C++ Concurrency in Action has been published on CodeGuru. Deadlock: the Problem and a Solution describes what deadlock is and how the std::lock() function can be used to avoid it where multiple locks can be acquired at once. There are also some simple guidelines for avoiding deadlock in the first place.

The C++0x library facilities mentioned in the article (std::mutex, std::lock(), std::lock_guard and std::unique_lock) are all available from the Boost Thread Library in release 1.36.0 and later.
