25 // ThreadCritical is used to protect short non-blocking critical sections.
26 // This class must use no vm facilities that require initialization.
27 // It is used very early in the vm's initialization, in allocation
28 // code and other areas. ThreadCritical regions are reentrant.
29 //
30 // Due to race conditions during vm exit, some of the os level
31 // synchronization primitives may not be deallocated at exit. It
32 // is a good plan to implement the platform dependant sections of
33 // code with resources that are recoverable during process
34 // cleanup by the os. Calling the initialize method before use
35 // is also problematic, it is best to use preinitialized primitives
36 // if possible. As an example:
37 //
38 // mutex_t mp = DEFAULTMUTEX;
39 //
40 // Also note that this class is declared as a StackObj to enforce
41 // block structured short locks. It cannot be declared a ResourceObj
42 // or CHeapObj, due to initialization issues.
