Questions Tagged [critical-section]

Critical section refers to either a piece of code that will run concurrently in several threads accessing global data or resources (requiring synchronisation), or a user-level spinlock combined with a mutex object under the Windows operating system. A critical section in the latter sense is functionally identical to a mutex that it cannot shared with a different process and that it is several orders of magnitudes faster in the non-congested case.
