USING IN (Critical section)

In french: UTILISER DANS

The statement USING ... IN makes it possible to automatically perform initialization and ending operations on critical sections.

This statement makes it possible to "forget" these operations (mainly ending operations) and to make the code more readable for highlighting the block to which the functionality relates.

Example

Versions 24 and later

// Using a Critical Section variable
S is CriticalSection

// Use for a code block
//---------------------------
USING S IN
// code protected by the critical section
// only one thread will execute this code at a given moment
END

New in version 24

// Use of a named critical section
UTILISCriticalSection("MySection") IN
// Two threads will not be able to run this code at the same time
...
END

// Critical section on a variable
t is array <critical section> of int

UTILISCriticalSection(t) IN
// Operations on the array by one only thread at a time
...
END
