hi, Quoting [Thilo Kielmann] (Aug 01 2006):
The related problem of thread-safety for SAGA operations is not applicable on the level of the SAGA specification. It has to be addressed on the level of language bindings.
I agree to that to some extend - the spec should, IMHO, limit itself to the statement 'SAGA implementations MUST be thread safe'.
Disagree. This would again prescribe the use of thread-safe implementations. So you would enforce the overhead of thread-safety (e.g. locking all over the place) also to Fortran ??? Really, "we don't prescibe anything" also excludes prescribing thread safety.
Keep it for the language binding. That's where it belongs.
Fortran is a good point... I agree. -- "So much time, so little to do..." -- Garfield
