setdefault threadsafe?

Quick question for y'all - is a dict's setdefault call threadsafe?

In other words, if I have code like the following:

tmp = someObj()

result = dictname.setdef ault( key, tmp )
is it going to behave "correctly" in a threaded environment?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, Just wondering if anyone is using the apache worker module with php? I've complied php5 with zend threadsafe support, and apache2 with the MPM worker module on a Linux box. Everything seems sweet. mysqli_thread_safe() reports true... anyone know if this configuration may include modules that aren't threadsafe? with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs with-gd enable-gd-native-ttf

Hi! I just realized that <dict>.setdefault *always* executes the second argument - even if it's not necessary, because the requested item in the first argument exists. This is not what I expected - why evaluate the second argument if it's not needed? Also this can lead to side-effects! Example:

I have a static method in the dll that looks like this public static int myStaticFunction(int input){ } My question is, should I use a mutex inside the function to ensure that the function is threadsafe? This is used for ASP.NET. I am asking this question without knowing how IIS works as a multi-threaded application. Does each websession get a thread? If so, if two users are calling the static function at the same time, do they

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
