Hmm. I went in to writing that thinking "shared isn't so bad".
Now I've thought about it, it is pretty damn useless. What's
the point of knowing that data is shared without knowing how
to safely use it? I guess it protects against completely naive
usage.
The real issue with "shared" is that objects may change status
during runtime based on the state of the program.
What you really want to know is when a parameter is "local",
that is, guaranteed to not be accessed by another thread during
the execution of the function. If so you open up for
optimizations.
What significant optimisations does SC-DRF actually prevent?
