OOo Threading Architecture

The OOo Threading Architecture leverages OOos respectively Unos threading model to only implement thread aware code where necessary. Principles of the threading architecture are

• all components, libraries and applications default to be thread unsafe, with only a few well motivated exceptions (being thread safe, thread affine respectively thread free),
• all office code is specified to be thread transparent.

Thread Safe

The following modules are specified to be thread safe:

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

Thread Affine

The following modules are specified to be thread affine:

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