Hello, I'm writing a function protected by a critical section which can have recursive calls under certain conditions.
Using the TCriticalSection class, after my thread acquires a critical section, if my thread make 6 additional calls to TCriticalSection.Enter, to release the critical section my thread will have to make 6 additional calls to TCriticalSection.Leave? If so, is this behaviour the same on all platforms? >From the Windows API: *"After a thread has ownership of a critical section, it can make additional calls to EnterCriticalSection or TryEnterCriticalSection without blocking its execution. This prevents a thread from deadlocking itself while waiting for a critical section that it already owns. The thread enters the critical section each time EnterCriticalSection and TryEnterCriticalSection succeed. A thread must call LeaveCriticalSection once for each time that it entered the critical section."* Regards
