RE: [Mingw-users] Thread safety problem with stringstreams

[Jeremy G. <jn...@nt...>]

Thanks psksvp,

I have now got to the  bottom of the problem and suggest that people =
read
the following:

My XP machine has msvcrt.dll version 7.0.2600.1106 dated August 29 2002. =
My
W2000 machine has version 6.1.9844.0 dated June 19 2003. I copied =
6.1.9844.0
from W2000 to the same directory as the exe on the XP machine. I then
created manifest files (assembly manifest + application manifest) to =
force
the exe to use the local copy of msvcrt.dll (see MSDN "Fixing an =
Existing
Application Using a Private Assembly" via Google). XP ignores local =
copies
of system files unless you create an assembly, and if you overwrite the
version in system32 then it quickly gets replaced. The exe now runs =
fine.

Version 7.0.2600.1106 of msvcrt.dll appears to be older than 6.1.9844.0. =
I
can't be certain how it got there but the machine has previously had =
Visual
Studio .NET 7.0 installed, though the file post dates that. It could =
have
come from a .NET update or it could just be the standard XP update.

Anyway, it looks like if you have the wrong version of msvcrt.dll =
installed
on your system then your MinGW applications may not be as thread safe as
they could be, but that can be fixed by using an appropriate version of
msvcrt.dll and a private assembly.

Regards,
Jeremy Godfrey
