are cout and printf thread safe?

Hello experts,
are cout and printf and other ostream and stdio functions/libraries are
threadsafe?
i am using gnu gcc3.3.2 on AIX5.2.
and my applications are multithreaded applications.
i am using -lpthread as one of the compiler option.
i am using cout and printf for debugging purpose.
thanks for ur replies in advance.

Thanks and Regards

That's implementation dependent. The Standard says nothing about
threads. Ask in a group related to your implementation and/or platform.

Hi all! I'm posting to both newsgroups, because it's actually a C++ problem but could be that some of you using Matlab-&-MEX-&-C++ was struggling with the same problem. I'm trying to rewrite some Matlab routines in C++ for reusing them identically in Matlab and some other simulation tools. For computational algebra I want to use the Matrix Template Library (MTL, http://www.osl.iu.edu/research/mtl/) which is written in C++ and therefore...

Dear all, I have a question about using cout<<... In standard C, I can use printf("%x",...) to print "hex" number. But in Watcom C++, when using cout<<, I got the "decimal" representation ! Ex. a = 0x80000004 if ( using printf("%x",a) ) then I got "80000004" on screen

Hello, I have question (or 2 :)). Is that true that for a large data using scanf/printf instead of cin/cout makes that the program runs faster? And if it is, is it legal to mix scanf/printf with C++ code? Program should execute below 1 sec and the hint is to use scanf/printf.

Hi Everyone, I had a query reg printf(). I heard that it can't be used in ISR's as it is non-re-enterant. I didn't get as to why printf is non-re-enterant and why non-re-enterant library can't be used in an ISR? Thanks in advance ! ! !

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
