Provides access to processes, threads, thread-local storage, and access synchronisation.
These APIs provide support for a programming style that employs multiple threads or processes that share resource protected by synchronisation mechanisms such as mutexes. Symbian OS provides alternatives to this style that are better suited to a limited resource environment:
the active objects framework provided by the Asynchronous Services API is usually preferred to multi-threading in Symbian OS programming
server programs can be used to serialise access to a shared resource
Functionality is provided by a number of APIs. Use them as follows:
Provides access to processes, threads, and thread-local storage.
Synchronises access to shared resources within and between processes.
Synchronises exclusive access to shared resources within and between processes.
Synchronises exclusive access to shared resources within a single process.
Provides access to processes, threads, +thread-local storage, and access synchronisation.
