[E-devel] [PATCH] ecore: Add basic thread safety

[Mike M. <mj....@sa...>]

Hi All,

This patch adds some level of thread safety to ecore.
It does not add thread awareness (i.e. adding a timer from a thread will not
wake a sleeping main loop).

In my experience, developers either are ignorant of the problems of threads, 
or expect libraries to magically work with threads.

I understand that some people think that thread safety is not necessary, but
IMO, the performance cost and complexity is easily outweighed by the benefit
of meeting developer expectation.

thanks,

Mike
