// A Mutex allows threads mutually exclusive access to a resource. //-----------------------------------------------------------------------  class Mutex { private:     CRITICAL_SECTION m_mutex;  public:      Mutex() { InitializeCriticalSection(&m_mutex); }     ~Mutex() { DeleteCriticalSection(&m_mutex);     }      void acquire() { EnterCriticalSection(&m_mutex); }     void release() { LeaveCriticalSection(&m_mutex); } };

Using the Entrek Codesnitch software to debug and test for any memory leaks, etc., it reports the following error:

InitializeCriticalSection Error: lpCriticalSection (0x000387d4) points to an invalid    memory location (0x00018984) Mutex::Mutex in lockmutex.h, line 29

Maybe all my sleepless nights are finally getting to me. But I don’t understand what it’s exactly complaining about. Any ideas?

  1. I’ll bet you can fake out the snitch with ::memset ( & m_mutex, 0, sizeof ( m_mutex ) ); before the call to init it.
