Structure and buffer allocation/access is not thread safe #84

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Structure allocation and copying as well as buffer allocation and cloning are 
all non-safe operations in the current implementation. Add locking to ensure at 
least minimal security such that running structure or buffer reliant code on 
multiple threads won't bork the VM state.

Don't forget that structures and buffers are NOT immutable, so we'll need to 
either enforce that no references can traverse thread boundaries, or generally 
add a metric boat load of locking to anything that mutates structures/buffers. 
The first option is probably preferable.
