I have 2 threads accessing the same memory, an array. My program crashes, and I think it is because of this array. The 2 threads use this array and can modify it at any moment. I think that when the first thread is using the array (eg. in a loop) ,the other one changes the values of the array and a mess follows and my program crashes. What I want to do it to make sure one thread has finished using the array and then releasing that array for the other thread. I know this can be done but haven't done anything like that before.

EDIT: I think I've got the idea, but I'm sure windows has already a built api function for this. I am thinking setting another global variable like a flag like this:

I think C++0x has support for atomic datatypes?

I'm pretty clueless about threading, but you will probably have a much easier time if you just use a library that does the heavy lifting. I think Intel has one and there is also OpenMP

Yes read up on critical sections, mutexs and semaphores.
