cool macro which makes it possible to use the CriticalSectionBlock the way you are used to in Java (..if you are used to java). Basically you use it this way: --------------------------------------------------------------------- critsec_t someCriticalSection; void foo () { // ... synchronized (&someCriticalSection) { //.. critical section protected with critical section. myCriticalDataStructure = 42; } // ... } --------------------------------------------------------------------- The implementation of this macro creates a automatic variable within the initialization part of a for-loop which is valid for the lifetime of the block within the curly braces. BUGS: wastes some CPU cyles for a counter which is neccessary to abuse the for(;;) loop to have this behaviour. Any ideas ?
