Detailed Description

template<class MutexType>
class BALL::TMutex< MutexType >

This class provides a very thin wrapper around different mutex types. As default, BALL supports QMutex, but if it has been configured with boost::thread support enabled, boost::mutex can also be used. Similarly, we can simply provide instantiations using, e.g, Intel thread building blocks.

A BALL-mutex needs to provide the functions void lock(), void unlock(), and bool tryLock().
