Resources locking

Most of the units and subsystems of OpenSCADA are dynamic, ie they allow the creation/deletion/configuration while the system is working. Taking into account the multi-threading of the system, this functionality imposes stringent requirements for synchronization of threads. For synchronization in the system the resources are used, functions of which are localized in the objects "Res" and "ResAlloc". Object "Res" provides storage of the resource, providing the functions of capture/release for the read and write. In object "ResAlloc" the automatic release of the resource functions are implemented. Automatic resource involves the creation of a local resource object with its automatic release at fracture (in the destructor). Using of automatic resource makes the work with resources when using the exceptions much easier.
