The sequence of the characters printed to the output may be different in each execution. Once again, it is not possible to predict the output from these examples. In most applications, unpredictable results are an undesirable feature. Consequently, it is important that you take great care in controlling access to shared resources in threaded code. There are a variety of ways to coordinate multiple threads of execution. To synchronize access to a resource, use one of the synchronization objects in one of the wait functions. The wait functions allow a thread to block its own execution. The wait functions do not return until the specified criteria have been met. A synchronization object is an object whose handle can be specified in one of the wait functions to coordinate the execution of multiple threads. More than one process can have a handle to the same synchronization object, making interprocess synchronization possible.</span></font></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0mm;margin-bottom:.0001pt">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0mm;margin-bottom:.0001pt">&nbsp;</p> <h3 align="center" style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-8089415323104206"; google_ad_slot = "2156170134"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 15; //--> </script> &nbsp;<script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script></h3> <p align="center" style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">&nbsp;</p> <h3 align="center" style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0"> <font face="Byington"><span style="font-weight: 400">&lt; <a title="Cancelling a Thread Program Example" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline" href="threadprocesssynchronizationapis11_38.html"> Thread Synchronization 39</a> | <a title="The Windows Win32 thread synchronization techniques programming tutorials with program examples and code samples" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline" href="threadprocesssynchronizationapis11index.html"> Thread Synchronization Programming</a> | <a title="The Win32 programming tutorial using Visual Studio, C and C++ languages" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline" href="index.html"> Win32 Programming</a> | <a title="Synchronization with Interlocked Exchange Program Example" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline" href="threadprocesssynchronizationapis11_40.html"> Thread Synchronization 41</a> &gt;</span></font></h3> <p align="left" style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">&nbsp;</p> <div align="center"> <script src="http://tag.contextweb.com/TagPublish/getjs.aspx?action=VIEWAD&cwrun=200&cwadformat=728X90&cwpid=527221&cwwidth=728&cwheight=90&cwpnet=1&cwtagid=82740"></script> </div> </div> </body> </html>
