void lock();		(since C++11)

Locks the associated mutex. Effectively calls mutex()->lock().

std::system_error is thrown if there is no associated mutex or if the mutex is already locked.

Parameters

(none)

Return value

(none)

Exceptions

• Any exceptions thrown by mutex()->lock()

• 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
