#includeHere, we use a recursive_mutex to protect a critical section of code that may be called recursively. The recursive_mutex allows the same thread to acquire the mutex multiple times without deadlocking. Overall, Boost is the package library that provides the Cpp Boost Mutex library. It is an extensively used C++ library that provides support for vital components such as multi-threading, networking, and memory management, among others.boost::recursive_mutex mutex; void shared_resource_access(int depth) { boost::recursive_mutex::scoped_lock lock(mutex); // access shared resource here // ... if (depth > 0) { shared_resource_access(depth - 1); } }
