Thread safety #47

Closed andresrgz closed 6 years ago

andresrgz commented 6 years ago

I'm guessing that Nex is not thread safe if it uses globals, am I wrong? My program needs to be able to parse in multiple threads and I'm wondering if I will need to lock a mutex for every time Lex will be called.

Where do you see globals?

@purpleidea My bad :man_facepalming: Just because Flex uses globals I wrongly assumed that Nex does too. I should have checked before asking, I apologize for making this issue.

no worries, afaik it does not.
