Is e4c_lite pthread safe?

[tecywiz121]

I noticed that in e4c_lite.h you mark e4c as threadprivate, which looks like an OpenMP directive. Does that mean it will be safe with multiple threads even if I'm not doing anything else OpenMP related?

"Multithreading
You may also enable the thread-safe version of the library which relies on pthreads."

I'd say that this answers it.
(actually, after some reading and a little bit of snooping through the code, I am not so sure :D)

The lightweight version of the library does not support complex multithreading. However, OpenMP directives are safe to use; and it might as well be safe to use C11 threads if e4c was specified as _Thread_local (I haven't thoroughly tested it yet).

Anyway, if you really need pthreads then you can use the standard version of exceptions4c and define the preprocessor macro E4C_THREADSAFE so that it is compiled in thread-safe mode.
