  23. Someone else mentioned Rogue Wave.  Does anyone have URLS or something
  24. through which the different "MT-enhanced" APIs could be compared?  I've
  25. been organizing a collection of MT/C++ issues; one of the gaps is where
  26. the standard C++ library interfaces need to be "MT-safed" according to
  27. some useful and consistent policy.
  28.  
  29. Eventually, the vendors ought to agree on one way to do threaded C++,
  30. but we're not there yet!  I don't know how much commonality there is
  31. between different MT/C++ environments but I suspect it's not lots.
