Re: Gnome/Gtk and thread safety

Hi,

You need to define "thread safe" for this to be meaningful. If you
want to go as far as Java (where you don't even have to lock a linked
list two threads are using simultaneously), there is no way; it can't
be done at all compatibly, and it would cause some pretty large
inefficiencies. Some more moderate "thread safety" could work. But you
have to say what you mean exactly; "thread safe" is pretty open-ended.
