wxWidgets: Threads

| Version: 3.1.5

Threads
Functions and Macros by Category

The functions and macros here mainly exist to make it possible to write code which may be compiled in multi thread build (wxUSE_THREADS = 1) as well as in single thread configuration (wxUSE_THREADS = 0).

For example, a static variable must be protected against simultaneous access by multiple threads in the former configuration but in the latter the extra overhead of using the critical section is not needed. To solve this problem, the wxCRITICAL_SECTION() macro may be used to create and use the critical section only when needed.
