Multithread Safety
RWDecimal<T> provides basic multithread safety. All functions behave the same in a multithreaded environment as in a single-threaded environment. Of course, this assumes that individual objects are not shared across multiple threads.
If you plan to use
RWDecimal<T> in a multithreaded environment, you should be aware of the following:
• Currency Module objects do not provide a locking mechanism for use in a multithread environment. An application should either avoid sharing individual objects across threads, or it should perform its own locking around objects shared between threads.
• The only static data maintained in
RWDecimal<T> classes are handles to inexact and overflow error handlers. Each class has its own pair of error handlers.
