I am a seasoned programmer with experience in multithreading concepts (
mostly in c). However, lately I have begun to question my knowledge and have
been in the process of upgrading  my knowledge about multithreading. My
question concerns issues about things being thread safe. In reviewing many
resources on the subject I am always presented with very basic examples such
as a global variable being referenced by multiple threads and the associated
problems that can occure. No Problem. Also, there are many references that
state that certain things such as the VCL and MFC as not being thread-safe
whith some exceptions. What I have not seen is info as to the Win32 API. Is
it Thread-Safe? How can I as a programmer of win32 (NT and above) based
multithreadded applications know where and when there might be problems? Do
multiple processes all accessing various Win32 api calls have to worry about
these issues or do only multiple threads within a single process have to
worry about them? Are there inherent differences between frame works such as
MFC and VCL and the Win32 api inself that cause the frameworks to have
threading issues while the api doesn't? Any help or feedback would be
greately appreciated.

Thanks
