[openbeos] Re: Waiting and waiting

I believe that the whole of the BeOS standard library was thread safe,
and applications expect it to be.

I have never once seen anyone using special thread safe functions in a
BeOS application.

There were even changes to the C++ library (std::string for one) so that
there was thread safety.

Could you give me an example of a functiont that was not meant to be
thread safe? I would like to do some testing of your assumptions under
the current BeOS (Dano actually_/

=)
