# Implicit Device Synchronization

Makes most public API methods implicitly lock the device, making them safe to call in a multi-threaded environment.
All commands for the `wgpu::Device` and child objects are safe, except command encoding which doesn't get implicit synchronization.

Note that this extension is quite heavy-handed in terms of synchronization, and should eventually disappear in favor of proper fine-grained and efficient synchronization in Dawn.
Also there are likely still cases where Dawn's reentrancy is not handled properly and could cause deadlocks with this extension.
