What happens if one thread is executing a static constructor and
another thread starts. Does the second thread block until the first is
done in the static constructor? I want to make sure all my globals are
initialized and the second thread does not throw an exception.
Thanks in advance.

Static constructors are only ever called once, and static methods are
implicitly threadsafe, so you shouldn't have to take any special
precautions.

Static constructors are only called once, but static methods are most
certainly NOT implicitly threadsafe! If a static method modifies data (e.g.
static fields), then it needs the same thread safety considerations that a
non-static method would need. Particularly, synchronization around access
to the shared state.

Should we guess that "...and static methods are..." should
have been "...and static constructors are...", because that
makes most sense in the context.

Hi all,
In my project I have made a number of helper methods static. As I understand
it, this will create the problem that multiple threads could access the
static method at the same time and interfere with one another.
My question is, for each static method, do I need to lock access to only one
call at a time? I've noticed that Microsofts Data Application block also
uses static methods for its data access calls - for example execute...

I'd like to know if it's possible/responsible to use the ReaderWriterLock

disclaimer of "Any public static members of this type are safe for
multithreaded operations. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be
thread safe." And the members of this class are not static, so all of...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
