Hi, all,

I'm new to Windows programming, though I've been doing C/C++ for about 8 years. I'm trying to use a CRITICAL_SECTION without any luck. I was trying to follow the example at

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms683476.aspx

I'm just trying to understand how the function calls work right now. I have :

#include <Windows.h>
// ...
res = InitializeCriticalSectionAndSpinCount(_cs, 0x80000400);
// ...
__try
{
EnterCriticalSection(_cs);
}
__except (EXCEPTION_POSSIBLE_DEADLOCK)
{
std::cout << "Deadlock?" << std::endl;
exit(0);
}
However, I'm getting

error C3861: 'InitializeCriticalSectionAndSpinCount': identifier not found, even with argument-dependent lookup
error C2065: 'EXCEPTION_POSSIBLE_DEADLOCK' : undeclared identifier
What am I doing wrong? I'm using VisualStudio .NET 2003 on WinXP.

Thanks!

Don
