Re: How to tell if thread owns critical section?

Charles,

I took the suggestion to maintain my own critical section ownership flags. I
am not using MFC and I am compiling with /EHa. I am using the WinAPI. I have
a catch that looks like:

catch(char* str)
{
    // log errors I throw, e.g., throw("my error");
}
catch(exceptions& e)
{
    // log e.what(), defined in exceptions.h
}
catch(...)
{
    throw; // let windows handle the rest
}
if(boolWorkerBeeOwnsCS}
{
    LeaveCriticalSection(&cs);
    boolWorkerBeeOwnsCS = FALSE; // does not matter at this point
}
// display the stringstream error log, if any, in a message box
// clean up and exit

So far, so good. I have had actual and simulated errors of all three
categories while running with debug libraries under the VS 2005 debugger
with the expected results. Same for production code.

I appreciate your interest and will be happy to answer questions that I can.

Thank you,
George
