+\membersection{wxCRIT\_SECT\_DECLARE}\label{wxcritsectdeclare}

+\func{}{wxCRIT\_SECT\_DECLARE}{\param{}{cs}}

+This macro declares a (static) critical section object named {\it cs} if
+{\tt wxUSE\_THREADS} is $1$ and does nothing if it is $0$.
+
+
+
+\membersection{wxCRIT\_SECT\_DECLARE\_MEMBER}\label{wxcritsectdeclaremember}
+
+\func{}{wxCRIT\_SECT\_DECLARE}{\param{}{cs}}
+
+This macro declares a critical section object named {\it cs} if
+{\tt wxUSE\_THREADS} is $1$ and does nothing if it is $0$. As it doesn't
+include the {\tt static} keyword (unlike
+\helpref{wxCRIT\_SECT\_DECLARE}{wxcritsectdeclare}), it can be used to declare
+a class or struct member which explains its name.
+
+
+
+\membersection{wxCRIT\_SECT\_LOCKER}\label{wxcritsectlocker}

+\func{}{wxCRIT\_SECT\_LOCKER}{\param{}{name}, \param{}{cs}}

+{\tt wxUSE\_THREADS} is $1$ and does nothing if it is $0$.
+
+
+
+\membersection{wxCRITICAL\_SECTION}\label{wxcriticalsectionmacro}
+
+\func{}{wxCRITICAL\_SECTION}{\param{}{name}}
+
+This macro combines \helpref{wxCRIT\_SECT\_DECLARE}{wxcritsectdeclare} and
+\helpref{wxCRIT\_SECT\_LOCKER}{wxcritsectlocker}: it creates a static critical
+section object and also the lock object associated with it. Because of this, it
+can be only used inside a function, not at global scope. For example:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+int IncCount()
+{
+ static int s_counter = 0;
+
+ wxCRITICAL_SECTION(counter);
+
+ return ++s_counter;
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+(note that we suppose that the function is called the first time from the main
+thread so that the critical section object is initialized correctly by the time
+other threads start calling it, if this is not the case this approach can
+{\bf not} be used and the critical section must be made a global instead).
+
+
+
+\membersection{wxENTER\_CRIT\_SECT}\label{wxentercritsect}
+
+\func{}{wxENTER\_CRIT\_SECT}{\param{wxCriticalSection\& }{cs}}
+
+This macro is equivalent to \helpref{cs.Enter()}{wxcriticalsectionenter} if

+
+
+
+\membersection{::wxIsMainThread}\label{wxismainthread}

+\func{bool}{wxIsMainThread}{\void}
+
+Returns {\tt true} if this thread is the main one. Always returns {\tt true} if
+{\tt wxUSE\_THREADS} is $0$.
+
+
+
+\membersection{wxLEAVE\_CRIT\_SECT}\label{wxleavecritsect}
+
+\func{}{wxLEAVE\_CRIT\_SECT}{\param{wxCriticalSection\& }{cs}}
+
+This macro is equivalent to \helpref{cs.Leave()}{wxcriticalsectionleave} if
+{\tt wxUSE\_THREADS} is $1$ and does nothing if it is $0$.

+
+Under Unix this macro changes the current process umask to the given value,

\membersection{::wxEnumClipboardFormats}\label{wxenumclipboardformats}

+
+\func{}{wxDYNLIB\_FUNCTION}{\param{}{type}, \param{}{name}, \param{}{dynlib}}
+
+When loading a function from a DLL you always have to cast the returned
+{\tt void *} pointer to the correct type and, even more annoyingly, you have to
+repeat this type twice if you want to declare and define a function pointer all
+in one line
+
+This macro makes this slightly less painful by allowing you to specify the
+type only once, as the first parameter, and creating a variable of this type
+named after the function but with {\tt pfn} prefix and initialized with the
+function \arg{name} from the \helpref{wxDynamicLibrary}{wxdynamiclibrary}
+\arg{dynlib}.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{type}{the type of the function}

+it is quoted automatically by the macro)}

For the second function (taking a string mask), the message is logged only if

-used by wxWindows are:
+\helpref{AddTraceMask}{wxlogaddtracemask} or by setting
+\helpref{{\tt WXTRACE} environment variable}{envvars}.
+The predefined string trace masks
+used by wxWidgets are:
\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
\item wxTRACE\_MemAlloc: trace memory allocation (new/delete)
\item wxTRACE\_OleCalls: trace OLE method calls (Win32 only)
\end{itemize}
-The third version of the function only logs the message if all the bit
+{\bf Caveats:} since both the mask and the format string are strings,
+this might lead to function signature confusion in some cases:
+if you intend to call the format string only version of wxLogTrace,
+then add a \%s format string parameter and then supply a second string parameter for that \%s, the string mask version of wxLogTrace will erroneously get called instead, since you are supplying two string parameters to the function.
+In this case you'll unfortunately have to avoid having two leading
+string parameters, e.g. by adding a bogus integer (with its \%d format string).
+
+The third version of the function only logs the message if all the bits
corresponding to the {\it mask} are set in the wxLog trace mask which can be
set by \helpref{SetTraceMask}{wxlogsettracemask}. This version is less
flexible than the previous one because it doesn't allow defining the user
