Q_GLOBAL_STATIC is reentrance now?

 

I read before [qt.gitorious.org] what macros Q_GLOBAL_STATIC is NOT reentrant, but i don’t know what year this convention will be written. How about now? This macros have atomic pointer (QBasicAtomicPointer) and used everywhere in Qt sources.

Q_GLOBAL_STATIC is re-entrant and thread safe.

Note however that the constructor of your object might be called several time (from different threads (but the extra objects are destroyed quickly)
