in thread threads::shared locking via C API

Yes, thanks. But that doesn't get you very far.

The whole 'lock locks the variable if threading is enable but is a silent noop otherwise', is the single most pointless piece of logic ever. (After the over-elaborate feature mechanism that is.)


Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
