What are the advantages of using lock_guard in C++?

• RAII (Resource Acquisition Is Initialization): Guaranteed lock release upon scope exit, even in case of exceptions.
• Safety: Prevents forgetting to release a mutex, which could lead to deadlocks.
• Readability: Simplifies lock management, making code more understandable.

#include <mutex> // For std::mutex and std::lock_guard

std::mutex mtx; // Mutex declaration

void guarded_function() {
    // Automatic lock management
    std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(mtx); 
    
    // Critical section of code
    // ...
    
    // When lock_guard goes out of scope, the mutex is automatically released
}
