Do you know maybe where it is documented that malloc is thread-safe, then (on Linux/glibc)? I have heard a claim that if it is not documented in glibc's manual that a function is thread-safe, then it is not thread-safe, and it is not written there that malloc is thread-safe (though actually no other function either is documented to be thread-safe), and C standard doesn't demand that standard library should be thread-safe. ddtl _______________________________________________ help-gplusplus mailing list help-gplusplus@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gplusplus
