- It is often thought that to implement cross-process synchronization on a Windows OS you need to use a kernel object such as a mutex which involves a switch to kernel mode, and back to user mode, everytime the lock is acquired and released; in contrast to a critical section which does not incur the overhead of the mode switch if there is no contention for the lock but which can only be used within a process. But, in fact, it is quite possible implement a critical section-like object which works cross-process, the key to this being the use of shared memory. Jeffrey Richter describes just such an object in this article in MSDN Magazine January 1998. This COptex class also contains a configurable spin lock implementation for use on multi-processor systems. |

- [NY Times, registration required] What impressed me the most about this recipe and Amanda Hesser's accompanying article was the lack of dietary paranoia, specifically, the absence of the nanny-like fussing over the public health menace of raw egg whites or yolks that usually accompanies eggnog recipes.
