An object of type shared_lock controls the shared ownership of a lockable object within a scope.

Shared ownership of the lockable object may be acquired at construction or after construction, and may be transferred, after acquisition, to another shared_lock object.

Objects of type shared_lock are not copyable but are movable.

The behavior of a program is undefined if the contained pointer pm is not null and the lockable object pointed to by pm does not exist for the entire remaining lifetime ([basic.life]) of the shared_lock object.

The supplied Mutex type shall meet the Cpp17SharedLockable requirements ([thread.req.lockable.shared]).

[Note 1:

shared_lock<Mutex> meets the Cpp17Lockable requirements ([thread.req.lockable.req]).

If Mutex meets the Cpp17SharedTimedLockable requirements ([thread.req.lockable.shared.timed]), shared_lock<Mutex> also meets the Cpp17TimedLockable requirements ([thread.req.lockable.timed]).
