Hi C/C++ Programmers Microsoft does not provide thread-safe time functions for localtime(), gmtime(), ctime() and asctime().
File: ./XalanEXSLT/XalanEXSLTDateTime.cpp This file creates localtime_r() and gmtime_r() for Windows systems. The implementation does not look thread-safe unless either a CRITICAL_SECTION object or a PTHREAD_MUTEX object is used to synchronize threads in a multi-threaded system. Functions: localtime(), gmtime(), ctime(), and asctime() return pointers to static structures, and as a result are not thread-safe. For the case of: struct tm, *res = *tmpTime C++ implies a structure copy. Is this structure copy by assignment an atomic operation? Sincerely, Steven J.
