There is definitely some work to do in this regard. Keep in mind we didn't gain much by using the STL. The most you can even hope for in any STL implementation is that: 1)multiple readers are safe and 2)multiple writers to _different_ containers are safe. That ain't much and even these aren't guaranteed. I think the boost (boost.org) libraries would be particularly helpful here, especially the portable threads and reference-counted pointers (sorry. I'm a geek. This is a development mailing list after all). joe js...@ya... Software Engineer Linux/OSX C/C++/Java |
