By unlocking /// it in its destructor, it ensures that the mutex will /// always be released when the current scope (most likely /// a function) ends. /// This is even more important when an exception or an early /// return statement can interrupt the execution flow of the /// function. /// /// For maximum robustness, sf::Lock should always be used /// to lock/unlock a mutex. /// /// Usage example: /// \code /// sf::Mutex mutex; /// /// void function() /// { /// sf::Lock lock(mutex); // mutex is now locked /// /// functionThatMayThrowAnException(); // mutex is unlocked if this function throws /// /// if (someCondition) /// return; // mutex is unlocked /// /// } // mutex is unlocked /// \endcode /// /// Because the mutex is not explicitly unlocked in the code, /// it may remain locked longer than needed. If the region /// of the code that needs to be protected by the mutex is /// not the entire function, a good practice is to create a /// smaller, inner scope so that the lock is limited to this /// part of the code. /// /// \code /// sf::Mutex mutex; /// /// void function() /// { /// { /// sf::Lock lock(mutex); /// codeThatRequiresProtection(); /// /// } // mutex is unlocked here /// /// codeThatDoesntCareAboutTheMutex(); /// } /// \endcode /// /// Having a mutex locked longer than required is a bad practice /// which can lead to bad performances. Don't forget that when /// a mutex is locked, other threads may be waiting doing nothing /// until it is released. /// /// \see sf::Mutex /// ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
