</p><pre class="programlisting">
#include &lt;ext/concurrence.h&gt;
namespace
{
__gnu_cxx::__mutex safe_base_mutex;
} // anonymous namespace
namespace other
{
void
foo()
{
__gnu_cxx::__scoped_lock sentry(safe_base_mutex);
for (int i = 0; i &lt; max; ++i)
{
_Safe_iterator_base* __old = __iter;
__iter = __iter-&lt;_M_next;
__old-&lt;_M_detach_single();
}
}
</pre><p>In this sample code, an anonymous namespace is used to keep
the <code class="code">__mutex</code> private to the compilation unit,
and <code class="code">__scoped_lock</code> is used to guard access to the critical
section within the for loop, locking the mutex on creation and freeing
the mutex as control moves out of this block.
</p><p>Several exception classes are used to keep track of
concurrence-related errors. These classes
are: <code class="code">__concurrence_lock_error</code>, <code class="code">__concurrence_unlock_error</code>, <code class="code">__concurrence_wait_error</code>,
and <code class="code">__concurrence_broadcast_error</code>.
