OK, lemme see if I follow the plot...

  1. You create a pool of "resource" objects whose members are all shared

  2. you pass the objects to the threads when they are created

  3. on creation, the thread dup's the resource object, thereby inheriting the shared members (albeit inside a new version of the object)

My only wrinkle is that I'm using a thread pool...but if I use a resource pool, I can instantiate the resource pool into each thread in the thread pool at startup, so I just need to add some scalar ID to each resource thread that can be used to direct a thread to whichever resource object to fiddle with.

Hmmm, intriguing...

I will definitely give it a shot. It may be a bit of a memory pig, but actually may also help limit the chances for memory leaks (kinda like building all Perl/Tk widgets at startup, and withdrawing til needed...kills memory leak bugs DEAD!)

PS. I do in fact have a dual CPU system (running Win2K); don't know when I'll get a chance to test this on it, (lots more code to implement/test before that), but I definitely owe you a barley pop...

And here's hoping Ponie solves this issue...

Many thanks...
