Lock Guard In C++ | Thread Synchronization | Multithreading for interview preparation

Continuing the C++ Multithreading series! In this video, we cover lock_guard — the simplest and safest RAII-style mutex wrapper in C++. 🔥 What you'll learn: ✅ What is lock_guard and how it works ✅ Why lock_guard is safer than manual mutex.lock() / mutex.unlock() ✅ How lock_guard locks on construction and unlocks on destruction (RAII) ✅ Why you CANNOT manually unlock a lock_guard (and why that's a feature) ✅ How to use scope blocks to control the critical section size ✅ Using lock_guard with std::mutex — live coding example ✅ Using lock_guard with std::recursive_mutex — live coding example ✅ How recursive_mutex allows the same thread to re-lock multiple times 📌 Missed the previous video on Mutex?
