Syntax

class FScopeLock

Remarks

Implements a scope lock.

This is a utility class that handles scope level locking. It's very useful to keep from causing deadlocks due to exceptions being caught and knowing about the number of locks a given thread has on a resource. Example:

` { // Synchronize thread access to the following data FScopeLock ScopeLock(SynchObject); // Access data that is shared among multiple threads ... // When ScopeLock goes out of scope, other threads can access data } _
