template< class Rep, class Period > bool try_lock_for( const std::chrono::duration<Rep,Period>& timeout_duration );		(since C++11)

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

timeout_duration

-

maximum duration to block for

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
