How to Thread-safe a dll/function

[nkapachi]

Hi guys,

I am third party application which calls my dll (contains a funtion - This funtion is used for data logging). This function can be called simultaneously and i want to thread-safe it so that i dont loss any data.. Any idea on how can we do this?

Thanks for you help

Nick

You probably want to put in mutex or critical section in your function.
