Is wxString threadsafe?

Post by orbitcowboy »

Hi all,

does anybody know if wxString is threadsafe?

A quick form search brought leaded to following thread:

http://forums.wxwidgets.org/viewtopic.p ... threadsafe

But i could not find anything in the wxString class reference about thread safety:

http://docs.wxwidgets.org/stable/wx_wxs ... l#wxstring

Thanks in advance

No, wxString is not thread-safe.
Use the source, Luke!

Hi,

A better thread would have been http://forums.wxwidgets.org/viewtopic.php?t=22048.

As normally used, wxString isn't thread-safe. In wx2.9 there is a workaround in the wxString::Clone function.

Regards,

David
