The CsLibGuarded library is a standalone header only library for multithreaded programming.

This library provides templated classes which prevent race conditions by controlling access to shared data. Existing multithreading primitives like mutexes and locks are only bound to the protected data by conventions. This makes it very easy to introduce bugs in your code by forgetting to use the right locks before accessing a block of data. The idea of this library is to tie the data and the locks in a type safe interface that only allows correct usage.

Building CsLibGuarded requires a C++20 compiler and a C++20 standard library.

CMake build files are provided with the source distribution. The unit test binary executable is an optional part of the build process.

This library has been tested with clang sanitizer and an extensive industry code review.

Class level documentation for CsLibGuarded is available on the CopperSpice website:
