Summary
Optimized Mutex
Pascal
public TJclOptex = class(TObject);
Description
Optex stands for Optimized Mutex. It's a synchronization object which holds middle ground between a Win32 Mutex and a Critical Section. It provides the speed and functionality similar to a critical section but has the additional property that it can be used across process boundaries (like a mutex). This code was originally written by Jeffrey Richter and is presented, and fully explained, in his excellent, must-have book "Programming applications for Microsoft Windows, 4th edition". This book was formerly titled "Advanced Windows". The Object Pascal class that is included in the JCL is almost a straight port from that code. Any bugs in this class were most likely introduced by these modifications or an incorrect port.
