# tf::CriticalSection class

class to create a critical region of limited workers to run tasks

tf::CriticalSection is a warpper over tf::Semaphore and is specialized for limiting the maximum concurrency over a set of tasks. A critical section starts with an initial count representing that limit. When a task is added to the critical section, the task acquires and releases the semaphore internal to the critical section. This design avoids explicit call of tf::Task::acquire and tf::Task::release. The following example creates a critical section of one worker and adds the five tasks to the critical section.

    tf::Executor executor(8);   // create an executor of 8 workers
    tf::Taskflow taskflow;

    // create a critical section of 1 worker
    tf::CriticalSection critical_section(1);

    tf::Task A = taskflow.emplace([](){ std::cout << "A" << std::endl; });
    tf::Task B = taskflow.emplace([](){ std::cout << "B" << std::endl; });
    tf::Task C = taskflow.emplace([](){ std::cout << "C" << std::endl; });
    tf::Task D = taskflow.emplace([](){ std::cout << "D" << std::endl; });
    tf::Task E = taskflow.emplace([](){ std::cout << "E" << std::endl; });

    critical_section.add(A, B, C, D, E);

    executor.run(taskflow).wait();
