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.
