> several member functions in std::moneypunct<> and std::numpunct<> return
> a std::string by value (as required by the Standard). The implication of
> return-by-value
> being that the caller "owns" the returned object.
> In the stdcxx implementation, the std::basic_string copy constructor uses a
> shared
> underlying buffer implementation. This shared buffer creates the first
> problem for
> these classes: although the std::string object returned by value *appears* to
> be owned
> by the caller, it is, in fact, not.
> In a mult-threaded environment, this underlying shared buffer can be
> subsequently modified by a different thread than the one who made the initial
> call. Furthermore, two or more different threads can access the same shared
> buffer at the same time, and modify it, resulting in undefined run-time
> behavior.
> The cure for this defect has two parts:
> 1. the member functions in question must truly return a copy by avoiding a
> call to the copy constructor, and using a constructor which creates a deep
> copy of the std::string.
> 2. access to these member functions must be serialized, in order to guarantee
> atomicity
> of the creation of the std::string being returned by value.
> Patch for 4.2.1 to follow.
