   1 \section{\class{wxCriticalSectionLocker}}\label{wxcriticalsectionlocker}
   2
   3 This is a small helper class to be used with \helpref{wxCriticalSection}{wxcriticalsection}
   4 objects. A wxCriticalSectionLocker enters the critical section in the
   5 constructor and leaves it in the destructor making it much more difficult to
   6 forget to leave a critical section (which, in general, will lead to serious
   7 and difficult to debug problems).

   9 Example of using it:
  10
  11 \begin{verbatim}
  12 void Set Foo()
  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
  33 Without wxCriticalSectionLocker, you would need to remember to manually leave
  34 the critical section before each {\tt return}.
