Hi All,

I am wondering if SCC (Silverfrost C Compiler) makes malloc and calloc thread-safe. Do I need to add my own locking around memory allocation when using multiple threads?

Thanks!

Alejandro

Silverfrost malloc calls GlobalAlloc which is thread-safe. There is no need for locking either internally (within malloc) or externally when calling it.
