CCriticalSection as extern

[Todor Atanasov]

Hy Everyone,
I have two threads calling two different classes.
I have defined two CArrays as extern so both classes can access them. I have also created two CCriticalSection as extern to lock each array during write/read in the two classes.
Is this a correct way to do things?

You should be OK if each thread locks only one CCriticalSection at a time. If a thread locks two of them you have the potential for a deadlock.
