/** @defgroup grp_rt_critsect RTCritSect - Critical Sections
*
* "Critical section" synchronization primitives can be used to
* protect a section of code or data to which access must be exclusive;
* only one thread can hold access to a critical section at one time.
*
* A critical section is a fast recursive write lock; if the critical
* section is not acquired, then entering it is fast (requires no system
* call). IPRT uses the Windows terminology here; on other platform, this
* might be called a "futex" or a "fast mutex". As opposed to IPRT
* "fast mutexes" (see @ref grp_rt_sems_fast_mutex ), critical sections
* are recursive.
*
* Use RTCritSectInit to initialize a critical section; use RTCritSectEnter
* and RTCritSectLeave to acquire and release access.
*
* For an overview of all types of synchronization primitives provided
* by IPRT (event, mutex/fast mutex/read-write mutex semaphores), see
* @ref grp_rt_sems .
