The POSIX equivalent to a critical section is a mutex.  glibmm wraps
gthread, which in turn offers a POSIX-like threading API on both Unix
and Windows systems.

In short, you can use Glib::Mutex from glibmm.

As a general note, I cannot emphasize strongly enough that reading a
good book on threaded programming and POSIX threads in particular is
absolutely essential when it comes to coding with threads.
