Manually locking unique/shared boost lock

i was working on the reversed worker/consumer pattern. Between these 4 methods i will do write/read operations. 

...
void beginWrite();
void endWrite();

void beginRead();
void endRead();
...

I only know for scoped shared/unique lock. So how is this done manually via shared/unique lock? So i would lock shared in beginRead and release in endRead. Or lock/release in another thread unique lock?

Boost's shared locks have functions that perfectly corresponding to the functions you listed. They are lock (get exclusive lock), unlock (release exclusive lock), lock_shared (get shared lock), and unlock_shared (release shared lock).
