Principles

Principles of the threading architecture are

• all components, libraries and applications default to be thread-unsafe, with only a few well motivated exceptions (being thread-safe, thread-affine,
• all office code is specified to be thread-transparent.

Thread-Safe

The following modules are specified to be thread-safe:

• ucb
• ucbhelper
• configmgr
• ?desktop?/pkgmagr

Thread-Affine

The following modules are specified to be thread-affine:
