[ITK-users] [ITK] Readers/writer lock in ITK?

[Simon Alexander]

Hi Taylor,


shared_mutex was rejected from c++ 2011, but is a target for c++ 2014 if I
understand correctly.

Boost synchronization probably covers what you need:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/doc/html/thread/synchronization.html


If you are avoiding boost for some reason, There are reference
implementations like :
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2406.html#shared_mutex


hope that helps!
