Race condition in sample code

[ceciliachan1979]

Here we have the code like this:

dotnet-api-docs/snippets/csharp/System.Threading/SemaphoreSlim/Overview/example.cs

Lines 53 to 55 in 546ce89

	semaphore.Release(3);
	Console.WriteLine("{0} tasks can enter the semaphore.",
	semaphore.CurrentCount);

Isn't that a race condition? It could happen that once the semaphore is released, the count can change right away by other threads?

Is that a problem? That information is only used for logging, so I don't think it matters. And I also think the code required to make it accurate would be unnecessarily complicated.

I think it is a bad idea to have wrong code there. I understand it can get complicated to make it accurate, how about not logging that at all?
