<h2><a name="Introduction">Introduction</a></h2>
<p>The <code>recursive_mutex</code>, <code>recursive_try_mutex</code>
and <code>recursive_timed_mutex</code> classes define full featured
models of the <a href="mutex_concept.html#Mutex">Mutex</a>, <a href=
"mutex_concept.html#TryMutex">TryMutex</a> and <a href=
"mutex_concept.html#TimedMutex">TimedMutex</a> concepts with recursive
locking semantics. These types should be used to synchronize access to
shared resources when recursive locking by a single thread is likely to
occur. A good example for this is when a class supplies &quot;internal
synchronization&quot; to ensure <a href="definitions.html#Thread-safe">
thread-safety</a> and a function of the class may have to call other
functions of the class which also attempt to lock the mutex. For
recursive locking mechanics, see <a href="mutex.html">mutexes</a>.</p>
<p>Each class supplies one or more typedefs for lock types which model
matching lock concepts. For the best possible performance you should
use the mutex class that supports the minimum set of lock types that
you need.</p>

<p>The <code>recursive_mutex</code>, <code>recursive_try_mutex</code>
and <code>recursive_timed_mutex</code> employ a <code>Recursive</code>
<a href="mutex_concept.html#LockingStrategies">locking strategy</a>, so
attempts to recursively lock them succeed and an internal &quot;lock
count&quot; is maintained. Attempts to unlock them by a thread that
does not own a lock on them will result in a <a href="lock_error.html">
lock_error</a> exception being thrown.</p>
<p>The <code>recursive_mutex</code>, <code>recursive_try_mutex</code>
and <code>recursive_timed_mutex</code> leave the <a href=
"mutex_concept.html#SchedulingPolicies">scheduling policy</a> as <code>
Unspecified</code>. Programmers should assume that threads waiting for
a lock on objects of these types acquire the lock in a random order,
even though the specific behavior for a given platform may be
different.</p>
