[osg-users] osgDB::readNodeFile Thread Safe?

[Pecoraro, Alexander N]

Is the function osgDB::readNodeFile thread safe?

I seem to remember in previous versions of the OSG API that the 
osgDB::DatabasePager would use a mutex to prevent threading issues when calling 
readNodeFile(), but in 2.8.0 it doesn't seem to do that anymore.

Just wondering because I'm working on some conversion software that uses 
multiple threads and needs to call readNodeFile quite often.

Thanks.

Hi Alex,

Most of the plugins are now thread safe, or when they aren't they have
a mutex to serialize access to them.

In OSG-2.8 onwards the DatabasePager itself is able to use mulitple
threads to do reading so it requires the plugins to be thread safe.

Robert.
