    25 // ThreadCritical is used to protect short non-blocking critical sections.
    26 // This class must use no vm facilities that require initialization.
    27 // It is used very early in the vm's initialization, in allocation
    28 // code and other areas. ThreadCritical regions are reentrant.
    29 //
    30 // Due to race conditions during vm exit, some of the os level
    31 // synchronization primitives may not be deallocated at exit. It
    32 // is a good plan to implement the platform dependent sections of
    33 // code with resources that are recoverable during process
    34 // cleanup by the os. Calling the initialize method before use
    35 // is also problematic, it is best to use preinitialized primitives
    36 // if possible. As an example:
    37 //
    38 // mutex_t  mp  =  DEFAULTMUTEX;
    39 //
    40 // Also note that this class is declared as a StackObj to enforce
    41 // block structured short locks. It cannot be declared a ResourceObj
    42 // or CHeapObj, due to initialization issues.
