3This is a small helper class to be used with \helpref{wxCriticalSection}{wxcriticalsection}
4objects. A wxCriticalSectionLocker enters the critical section in the
5constructor and leaves it in the destructor making it much more difficult to
6forget to leave a critical section (which, in general, will lead to serious
7and difficult to debug problems).

9Example of using it:
10
11\begin{verbatim}
2edb0bde 12void Set Foo()
5b1eea6a
VZ
13{
14 // gs_critSect is some (global) critical section guarding access to the
15 // object "foo"
16 wxCriticalSectionLocker locker(gs_critSect);
17
18 if ( ... )
19 {
20 // do something
21 ...
22
23 return;
24 }
25
26 // do something else
27 ...
28
29 return;
30}
31\end{verbatim}
32
33Without wxCriticalSectionLocker, you would need to remember to manually leave
34the critical section before each {\tt return}.
