CTR API
Revision as of 11:57, 25 September 2016 by Neobrain (talk | contribs) (Moved from Multi-threading because it doesn't fit there but seems to be considered valuable information by some)
This page lists the spare knowledge we have on the official CTR API.
Synchronization Primitives
These are to be considered in extension to the system calls outlined in Multi-threading.
Critical Section (light-weight mutex)
Similar to a mutex, but faster and no priority inheritance. Therefore problems such as priority inversion may occur.
CriticalSection::Initialize
Creates an object
CriticalSection::Enter
Locks out threads from accessing a critical section.
CriticalSection::Leave
Unlocks and allows for access to a critical section.
Light Semaphore
API unknown.
Light Event
API unknown.
