I have a situation where I have multiple threads accessing the clipboard and performing an action with some sleeps. Basically I don't want to copy the wrong thing to the clipboard and perform something in an incorrect fashion.
Currently, I have an idea of using a mutex to lock a std::string variable and store the required data in it, then to the clipboard. After I finish the action, I unlock it. Then the other thread accesses the variable, then clipboard, and action.
As I have never used a mutex, my question is - will it work by just doing the above?
I'm using the following library to manage the clipboard: https://github.com/dacap/clip
