Treads and C library

SDL Development
1

Hello.

In SDL Introduction in section “What can it do?” there are tip:

Do not use C library functions like I/O and memory management
from threads if you can help it - they lock resources
used by other threads.

What functions I can use for I/O and memory management from threads?
May be it’s good idea create SDL function for this?
For example, SDL_malloc, SDL_free, etc.–
Best regards,

“Locks”. You can call malloc() from any thread; doing so a lot may
just slow things down.

Don’t worry about this until optimizing.

No, that wouldn’t help anything.On Wed, May 07, 2003 at 06:05:52PM +0600, Alex wrote:
