SynchronizedObject

Description

The class SynchronizedObject (see Figure C-13) serves as the parent class for synchronized objects. Synchronized objects incorporate a mutex-based lock mechanism, allowing them to be used concurrently by multiple threads.

SynchronizedObject includes the nested classes SynchronizationObject, which is its mutex object, and ExclusiveZone, which locks a SynchronizationObject.

SynchronizedObject belongs to the namespace CppUnit. It is declared in SynchronizedObject.h and implemented in SynchronizedObject.cpp.
