Detailed Description

Automatic wrapper for critical sections.

Used in conjunction with criticalsection objects, locks simplify critical sections' management by taking advantage the automatic destruction of static objects in C++.

Use it as in example below:

criticalsection section;  //Initialize critical section object
 
void func()
{
  lock inuse( section );  //Acquire critical section
 
  //... code protected by critical section
 
}//Here destructor for lock is invoked and critical section is released.

The main advantage however is that any exception thrown inside func or any called function will also invoke the destructor for lock thus releasing the critical section.
