Hello:
Is a string[30] declaration under Linux thread safe?
No.
Michael.
Just as I suspected.
So every time a new value is assigned to a string[30] variable, memory
is allocated and changed by the compiler, so the internal string pointer
changes as well.
And the only recourse is critical sections for memory access.
Correct?
CHeers,

I still program in Turbo Pascal so I am more of a spectator than a user of
Free Pascal. As I understand it the shortstring type is the same as string
type in Turbo Pascal. This would make index 0 of variable typed as
shortstring[SIZE] an internal length byte and index positions 1 through SIZE
the data value of the string. Since, unlike a newer string type, a
shortstring is not an object and not a managed string at all, but a simple
type like an integer, I would expect shortstring might be thread safe.
Is this the case?
No, exactly the opposite.
Michael.
