These jobs has their own set of tasks to achieve. These task can work on a set of configurable inputs and outputs. The outputs of one of the task can be an input of another task under a different job that is scheduled. Since these are configurable, the mutexes creation is done during the process init and job scheduling. Hence there is no way to use scoped_lock which is an excellent addition to lock all or nothing mutexes that avoids deadlock.  How about an RAII for scoped_lock which takes a std container of mutexes (or unique ptrs of mutexes). ? Is this a valid proposal? Am I missing something that is already there and easy to use like scoped lock?  Regards Bharath -- Std-Proposals mailing list Std-Proposals_at_[hidden] https://lists.isocpp.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/std-proposals
