I'm learning about mutexes in C++ and have a problem with the following code (taken from N. Josuttis' "The C++ Standard Library").
I don't understand why it blocks / throws unless I add this_thread::sleep_for in the main thread (then it doesn't block and all three calls are carried out).
The compiler is cl.exe used from the command line.
#include <future>
#include <mutex>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <thread>
#include <chrono>
std::mutex printMutex;
void print(const std::string& s)
{
std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lg(printMutex);
