The UNO Threading Model specification for Binary UNO is the sum of the specifications for the parts, see below for details.
+
==Dependencies==
 
+
===Rationale===
+
The current threading related code quality of OOo has proven that doing proper multi threading programming is not easy. Even seemingly simple things, as thread safeness, seem to be unreachable. Therefor UNO programming must be as simple as possible in respect to multi threading programming.
+
 
+
===API===
+
The following new defines select the threading type for binary UNO:
+
* <code>UNO_THREAD_SAFE</code>
+
* <code>UNO_THREAD_UNSAFE</code>
+
* <code>UNO_THREAD_AFFINE</code>
+
 
+
Services / Client code compiled with one of these defines lifes in the associated environment. Not defining one of these defines, lets binary UNO fall back to <code>CPPU_THREAD_SAFE</code>, and gives a warning. This is compatible with the original behaviour.
+
 
+
The Associated environments are:
+
* <code>UNO_THREAD_SAFE  </code> => <code>"<ABI>"</code>
+
* <code>UNO_THREAD_UNSAFE</code> => <code>"<ABI>:unsafe"</code>
+
* <code>UNO_THREAD_AFFINE</code> => <code>"<ABI>:affine"</code>, see [[Uno/Binary/Spec/Thread Affinity Bridge]] for details.
