Basic ground rules on multithreading
Raw
rules.md

Following the analogy of basic ground rules, here I'm trying to come up with a similar list for multithreading.

  1. Nothing is thread safe unless effort has been made to make it thread safe.
  2. You can't assume that composition of two thread safe operations (g(f());) or objects is thread safe itself. This is a special case of the rule 1.
