OOo Threading Architecture

Feature

The OOo Threading Architecture leverages Unos Threading Model to only implement Thread Safe code where necessary, to achieve a Basic Threading Architecture.

All components, libraries and applications default to be thread unsafe, with only a few well motivated exceptions, which are specified as thread safe respectively as thread affine.

The following modules are specified to be Thread Safe:

• ucb
• ucbhelper
• io/acceptor
• configmgr
• ?desktop?/pkgmagr

The following modules are specified to be Thread Affine:

•  ?tools?/DDE
• dtrans/?clipboard?
• dtrans/?Drag&Drop?
