critical sections are not.
Hmmm I suppose this is "fpc speak".
Thinking about this I feel that "CriticalSection" (the official name of this
functionality is Mutex) and "Event" is "fpc speak". "Event even has several
different meanings in "fpc speak, e.g. TEvent (which is some kind of
Thread-Semaphore ) and and "Event" function to be settable in a class (the
general name of such construct is "Callback").
CriticalSection and TEvent derive their names from Windows OS calls, adopted by
Delphi and hence by FPC.
There is nothing FPC specific about it.
