Threads and Implicit Sharing

[stillwaiting]

You can read the contents from two threads without safeguards. But you can't read from one thread and write from another thread without a mutex.

Hi wysota, thank you for your reply. I'm wondering if such behavior is described somewhere in the documentation? The only information I've found about threads and implicit sharing is : http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtopia4.2/th...plicit-sharing , but it says nothing about readonly access from different threads. Just for comparison: this is what the documentation says about the same issue for containers:

"The container classes are implicitly shared, they are reentrant, and they are optimized for speed, low memory consumption, and minimal inline code expansion, resulting in smaller executables. In addition, they are thread-safe in situations where they are used as read-only containers by all threads used to access them."
