Subject: [Boost-users] [pool] Threadsafety

Hi there,
just to clarify: The pool documentation says in the "Object Usage vs.
Singleton Usage" section (see here:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/libs/pool/doc/interfaces.html):
"Pool objects with Singleton Usage may be shared; thus, Singleton Usage
implies thread-safety as well."
So, with the singleton pool interface I can safely do concurrent mallocs and
frees on all supported OSs (using Boost.Thread for the concurrency part),
albeit at the expense of having a YASWIOI (yet another singleton with its
own interface) in my programs, with all pros and cons that singletons have ?
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Ruediger Berlich
