Making GLib thread-safe

[Jeff Garzik <jgarzik pobox com>]

I keep running into GLib thread safety issues coding my current
GNOME app.

Has anyone put any work towards making GLib thread-safe?  I'd like
to start a new CVS branch and push forward towards this goal, unless
anyone has objections.

It seems to me like I should only have to define mutexes for each
static variable.  And if _REENTRANT is not defined, the mutex locks
evaluate to null calls.

(I'm searching the gtk-list archives now for glib+thread references)
