Re: libstc++2.10-dev & threads



Thread safety concept is a bit different in STL implementations. The
standard doesn't really specify such things; and it's usually left to the
programmer to go and do
the necessary synchronizations since performance penalties are not
affordable.

Thread safety just means safety within mem allocs, etc. not across, say,
iterator
dereferencing calls.

You can check the details in some of SGI design documents
which you might have come across as well.
