For instance here:
"The SGI implementation of STL is thread-safe only in
the sense that simultaneous accesses to distinct
containers are safe, and simultaneous read accesses to
to shared containers are safe. If multiple threads
access a single container, and at least one thread may
potentially write, then the user is responsible for
ensuring mutual exclusion between the threads during
the container accesses. "

Yes, in that sense is thread safe.


Please explain it to the forum fighters.


No need. They all, especially James Kanze, know very well.


Are you suggesting that he intentionally makes fool of
himself?http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.c++/msg/bf81088bfec40dab


Do you understand English? The SGI statement says exactly what
I said, that the implementation is thread safe. (At least two
of the implementations I use are derived almost directly from
the SGI implementation.)

The problem I see here is that you don't know what thread-safe
means.

Or do you rather think that he just gets excited whenever he
sees any statement from me and he starts contradicting
anything just blindly? Is it a conditioned reflex by him
then?


It's a more or less conditioned reflex on my part to correct
errors which people post, so that beginners don't get mislead.
The fact that you tend to post mostly errors does lead to my
correcting your postings more than those of other people.
