I''m in the process of writing my own multi-thread library for Win32. Right now I''m using critical sections in my code by using the Win32 CRITICAL_SECTION object and related functions. I''m wondering if there''s a way to use critical sections in my code without using the Win32 libraries. Any info would be much appreciated.

If you program in Win32... you have to use its thingie.

You really wouldn''t want to do this yourself. Synchronization can be completely different between single and multi-processor machines. What''s the problem with using the OS supplied functions? Or are you just curious for curiosity''s sake?

lookup _beginthread() in MSDN.
I believe thats the call. you could use the standard c++ implementation. I believe that is the same in the APPLE and LINUX versions.

You can also use pthreads. It''s supported on most *nix platform and windows. So it''s portable. But obviously the windows implementation is done by using Win32 threads functions.
