Detailed Description

RAII object for disabling, then restoring, interrupt state Usage:

// RAII style usage
unsigned int atomic_counter_increment(unsigned int &counter) {
    CriticalSectionLock lock;
    // Code in this block will run with interrupts disabled
    // Interrupts will be restored to their previous state automatically
    // at the end of function scope
    return ++counter;
}
// free locking usage
unsigned int atomic_counter_decrement(unsigned int &counter) {
    CriticalSectionLock::enable();
    // Code in this block will run with interrupts disabled
    counter--;
    CriticalSectionLock::disable(); // need explicitly to disable critical section lock
    // interrupts will be restored to their previous state here
    return counter;
}
