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.

All office code is specified to be Thread Transparent.

The following modules are specified to be Thread Safe:

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

The following modules are specified to be Thread Affine:

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