what does it mean by thread serialization in c++?

Question

I know about serializing objects and how they are saved to disk, but what does thread serialization actually mean? Could any one help me on this one and point me in the right di

Answer 1

Serialize actually means to publish in a serial form, as in one after another. So Thread Serialization means to make sure that a certain set of events occurs in a sequence not at the same time

So a heap that has serialized thread access means that calls to the heap will occur in the order that they are made and will not actually occur at the same time. This is probably done by the means of a global lock.
