[Spread-users] Question about thread-safety

[White Stuart - stwhit]

Hello all,

I'm a spread newbie - just downloaded a few days ago.  My question is
regarding using Spread in a threaded C application.

I would like to write an application that can simultaneously send and
receive messages.  In my main thread, I spawn another thread (the "message
handler" thread) and he loops forever calling SP_receive().  The main thread
loops, sending his messages via SP_multicast().

My question is this:  I'm getting spurrious failures, (getting errors like
ILLEGAL_SESSION from SP_receive) and I'm wondering what synchronization is
appropriate for using spread in a threaded application?  Do I need to make
sure only 1 thread is calling an SP_* function at-a-time?

Thanks much!
