One of the aspects of CloudABI is that it aims to help you write code
that is thread-safe out of the box. This is very important if you want
to write libraries that are easy to reuse. For CloudABI we decided to
not provide the thread-unsafe functions. So far this is working out
pretty well, as thread-unsafety issues are detected really early on.
The following patch adds a knob to libc++,
_LIBCPP_HAS_NO_THREAD_UNSAFE_C_FUNCTIONS, that can be set to disable
thread-unsafe functions that can easily be avoided in practice. The
following functions are not thread-safe:
- <clocale>: locale handles should be preferred over setlocale().
- <cstdlib>: mbrlen(), mbrtowc() and wcrtomb() should be preferred over
their non-restartable counterparts.
- <ctime>: asctime(), ctime(), gmtime() and localtime() are not
thread-safe. The first two are also deprecated by POSIX.
