Can you combine std::recursive_mutex with std::condition_variable?
You can, if you use std::condition_variable_any
, which allows for any type of object that supports the Lockable concept.
However, in the case of recursive mutex, you do have to ensure that the given thread has only locked the recursive mutex once, since the condition variable only will use the unlock
method on the unique_lock
once during the wait.
You can do that with a std::condition_variable_any
which can take any kind of lockable but plain std::condition_variable
is specialized for std::unique_lock<std::mutex>
.
