14 The functions and macros here mainly exist to make it writing the code which
15 may be compiled in multi thread build (wxUSE_THREADS = 1) as well as in single
16 thread configuration (wxUSE_THREADS = 0).
17
18 For example, a static variable must be protected against simultaneous access by
19 multiple threads in the former configuration but in the latter the extra
20 overhead of using the critical section is not needed. To solve this problem,
21 the wxCRITICAL_SECTION macro may be used to create and use the critical section
22 only when needed.
