While such functions as EnterCriticalSection exist in Windows API, modern books call them a design error, because they protect code, not data. Also, why use them if the static precalculated FIR achieves the same result (thread safety) without any synchronization primitives?
APIs exist for programmers, and the programmers do decide what they want to protect. Calling a design error an API is at least a confusion, if not a disinformation. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
