Description
A rw_mutex is a class that models the ReaderWriterMutex requirement <https://spec.oneapi.com/versions/latest/elements/oneTBB/source/named_requirements/mutexes/rw_mutex.html>_,
using adaptive approach: the combination of spinlock and waiting on system primitives.
The rw_mutex class satisfies all of the shared mutex requirements described in the [thread.sharedmutex.requirements] section of the ISO C++ standard.
The rw_mutex class is unfair reader-writer lock with writer-preference.

.. namespace:: tbb::rw_mutex
.. cpp:class:: scoped_lock
The corresponding scoped-lock class. See the `ReaderWriterMutex requirement <https://spec.oneapi.com/versions/latest/elements/oneTBB/source/named_requirements/mutexes/rw_mutex.html>`_.
.. cpp:function:: rw_mutex()
Constructs unlocked ``rw_mutex``.
.. cpp:function:: ~rw_mutex()
Destroys unlocked ``rw_mutex``.
.. cpp:function:: void lock()
Acquires a lock. It uses adaptive logic for waiting: it blocks after particular time period of busy wait.
.. cpp:function:: bool try_lock()
Tries to acquire a lock (non-blocking) on write. Returns **true** if succeeded; **false** otherwise.
.. cpp:function:: void unlock()
Releases the write lock held by the current thread.
.. cpp:function:: void lock_shared()
Acquires a lock on read. It uses adaptive logic for waiting: it blocks after particular time period of busy wait.
.. cpp:function:: bool try_lock_shared()
Tries to acquire the lock (non-blocking) on read. Returns **true** if succeeded; **false** otherwise.
.. cpp:function:: void unlock_shared()
Releases the read lock held by the current thread.
