Hi,

what precautions do I have to take when calling C-library functions from
different threads in one process ?

What happens to static variables like 'errno' ?

Can I safely call '...printf()' from different threads ?

Or are the only safe functions the OS-functions in 'bsedos.h' ?

Or are even those functions not completely thread-safe ?


Thanks for any info, Ernst.
