9022.0. "is inet_ntoa() thread safe?" by XSTACY::TOBINM () Tue Mar 04 1997 06:56

I'm using inet_ntoa() in a multi-threaded process.

The function returns a pointer to a dot-formatted character string.

Do you know if this is already thread-safe or should I protect this
with a mutex?

i.e. is inet_ntoa() using static memory to return this string, in 
which case its not thread-safe.

	The code is explicitly thread-safe as of V4.0. (I believe "all" of libc was made t-s in V4.0...) Mike
