Detailed Description

Special utility class that allows to protect a piece of code from being accessed by multiple execution threads at the same time.

Critical section starts when RTLock object is constructed, and continues until the end of a C++ block or until a function return statement.

A typical use case is to declare a static mutex and an object of RTLock class in the beginning of a code block or a function:

{
#if USE_THREADS
    static RTMutex mutex;
    RTLock lock(mutex);
#endif
    // critical section
}

Mutex is released when RTLock object is destroyed.
