+RacerD finds data races in your C++/Objective C and Java code. This page gives a more in-depth
 explanation of how the analysis works *for Java code*, but may be less complete than the
 [Thread Safety Violation bug description page](/docs/next/all-issue-types#thread_safety_violation).
+For information on C++ and Objective C, see the
+[Lock Consistency violation page](/docs/next/all-issue-types#lock_consistency_violation).
 
 To run the analysis, you can use plain `infer` (to run RacerD along with other
 analyses that are run by default) or `infer --racerd-only` (to run only RacerD).

+This is an error reported on C++ and Objective C classes whenever:
 
-- A class contains a member `lock` used for synchronization (most often a
-  `std::mutex`).
-- It has a public method which writes to some member `x` while holding `lock`.
-- It has a public method which reads `x` without holding `lock`.
+- Some class method directly uses locking primitives (not transitively).
+- It has a public method which writes to some member `x` while holding a lock.
+- It has a public method which reads `x` without holding a lock.
 
 The above may happen through a chain of calls. Above, `x` may also be a
 container (an array, a vector, etc).
