It depends on what you mean by thread-safe.  To the best of my
knowledge, the library does not use any non-const static data, or
non-const static data members.  On the other hand, it does not provide
locking of the members of any one slot or signal instance, and I
probably would not use it if it did.  For example, if you want to
connect a slot to a signal in one thread, and emit the signal in
another, in many cases you will need your own synchronisation.

What does your question relate to?
