[Gimp-developer] Simultaneous Multiprocessing and Multithreading in GIMP

[Ahmad Nouralizadeh via gimp-developer-list]

Hi,
AFAIK, gimp is a multiprocess program. Because for each plugin, it creates
a new process. It also uses multithreading. But, AFAIK, using fork and
multithreading is not recommended (e.g., look at the second answer here, Is
it safe to fork from within a thread?
<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6078712/is-it-safe-to-fork-from-within-a-thread>).
How does gimp manage that?
Regards.
