[Asterisk-Dev] thread-safe and reentrant functions

[Gene Kochanowsky]

Threading has nothing to do with C++, but creating thread base classes for creating threaded classes and objects is much easier and cleaner to accomplish in C++ than in C. If you code in C++ but do not have a clue about object oriented design then I can understand why you would think it was inferior to C. To create fully object oriented program in C++ requires that you think about coding in an entirely different way. I have seen my share of C programmers that don't get it trying to write C++ programs and it would be best for them to stick with C. If that is the case for Asterisk programmers then forget I brought it up.

Once you understand object oriented analysis and design you will not go back to C unless there are no alternatives.


	I guess if you want to deal with even more unportable code.

	I've found C++ not be portable at all between *nix
platforms.

	threads are the way to do it "right", imho.
