Critical section

Dec 23 2011

Critical section. An object of synchronization of threads allowing you to prevent simultaneous execution of some set of operations (usually relating to data access) by several threads. Critical sections work on the principle of mutex (when a thread is in a critical section all the other threads cannot enter). A critical section performs the same functions as mutex.
