Early critical section event creation

  • Article

The Early critical section event creation flag creates event handles when a critical section is initialized, rather than waiting until the event is needed.

Abbreviation

cse

Hexadecimal value

0x10000000

Symbolic Name

FLG_CRITSEC_EVENT_CREATION

Destination

System-wide registry entry, kernel flag, image file registry entry

Comments

When Windows cannot create an event, it generates the exception during initialization and the calls to enter and leave the critical section do not fail.

Because this flag uses a significant amount of nonpaged pool memory, use it only on very reliable systems that have sufficient memory.
