Is any version of GCC STL thread-safe?

Is any version of GCC STL thread-safe?

[Richard M. Romanowski]

Hello.
I work with gcc 2.8.1 and I am considering going to
gcc 2.9.5 or gcc 3.0;  I was wondering whether any
version of STL for GCC is known to be thread-safe.

In particular, I maintain an old project which depends
on Graham Dumpleton's OSE/OTC libraries (on the web at:
http://www.dscpl.com.au/ose-6.0/ ) and I was hoping to
replace them with GNU STL.

Thanks
Richard Romanowski

Hi,

I'm not a thread safety expert but I think you may find useful the
official online docs describing the latest incarnation of the library,
v3, that delivered with gcc3.0 (and, anyway, buildable only with gcc3.0
*not* with gcc2.95.x !!).
In particular:

    http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/17_intro/howto.html#3

Cheers,
Paolo Carlini.

You might want to check http://www.stlport.com/product.html or
