    Applications?

    What is this good for?
    What can make use of this?
    When is this useful?

        lol wikipedia.

        I wonder if any phoronix readers can identify what the problems are with this statement (ignoring any and all grammar mistakes you may find or think you find):

        "Synchronization primitives such as mutexes, semaphores, and critical sections are all mechanisms by which a programmer can ensure that certain sections of code do not execute concurrently if doing so would corrupt shared memory structures."

        Here's a hint: If you're a computer science student, do NOT study for your exam by reading wikipedia.

          A critical section isn't a mechanism - it's the piece of code that will need to be synced inside a mutex, semaphore, or other solution.

            Well you're somewhat right, but it actually is a mechanism in windows:
            A critical section object provides synchronization similar to that provided by a mutex object, except that a critical section can be used only by the threads of a single process.
