Threads and String Constants

Hi,

This one goes to Fred, I think...

I know, that the PB String management is not threadsave, but what if I use String Constants in the Threads only? Or what about if I only use fixed Strings directly with the Functions and use no String Variables at all?

Would that be save, or am I still going to get in a mess?

Thanks in advice...

Timo

it should be safe, as no duplication will be done. But don't use string functions on them, as it will use the internal string buffer...

Thanks, i think, i'm going to avoid using Strings wherever possible and where I have to, i'm going to use GlobalAlloc_() to manage them on my own.

But If I had to replace the Constants with Memory Buffers, too, it would be a lot of work to do.

Is it possible to read string arrays without problems in threads? or does it make problems too?
