Re: Is __default_alloc_template thread safe on Solaris?

IMHO, it is *very* hard to configure and use threads in STL properly
with g++ 2.95.X (and anything before 3.0) on a random port.  Your
report confirms that fact.  Upgrade your Solaris box to (at least) g++
3.2, where the compiler reports "Thread model: posix".

However defining _PTHREADS as a compiler flag seems to solve my problem.
Would you recommend doing so? It's not actually possible to move into a more recent g++ release due to some other constraints. I see four options,
1. Remove threading (this is not actually possible for me)
2. Move STL related stuff to a single thread
3. Define _PTHREADS as a compiler flag
4. Move to a thread safe STL implementation

What would you recommed?

tnx
