- <h3 class="section">5.3 Thread-safety of the runtime library</h3>
- <a name="index-thread_002dsafety_002c-threads"></a>
- <p>GNU Fortran can be used in programs with multiple threads, e.g. by
- using OpenMP, by calling OS thread handling functions via the
- <code>ISO_C_BINDING</code> facility, or by GNU Fortran compiled library code
- being called from a multi-threaded program.
- </p>
- <p>The GNU Fortran runtime library, (<code>libgfortran</code>), supports being
- called concurrently from multiple threads with the following
- exceptions.
- </p>
- <p>During library initialization, the C <code>getenv</code> function is used,
- which need not be thread-safe. Similarly, the <code>getenv</code>
- function is used to implement the <code>GET_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE</code> and
- <code>GETENV</code> intrinsics. It is the responsibility of the user to
- ensure that the environment is not being updated concurrently when any
- of these actions are taking place.
- </p>
- <p>The <code>EXECUTE_COMMAND_LINE</code> and <code>SYSTEM</code> intrinsics are
- implemented with the <code>system</code> function, which need not be
- thread-safe. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that
- <code>system</code> is not called concurrently.
- </p>
- <p>For platforms not supporting thread-safe POSIX functions, further
- functionality might not be thread-safe. For details, please consult
- the documentation for your operating system.
- </p>
- <p>The GNU Fortran runtime library uses various C library functions that
- depend on the locale, such as <code>strtod</code> and <code>snprintf</code>. In
- order to work correctly in locale-aware programs that set the locale
- using <code>setlocale</code>, the locale is reset to the default “C”
- locale while executing a formatted <code>READ</code> or <code>WRITE</code>
- statement. On targets supporting the POSIX 2008 per-thread locale
- functions (e.g. <code>newlocale</code>, <code>uselocale</code>,
- <code>freelocale</code>), these are used and thus the global locale set
- using <code>setlocale</code> or the per-thread locales in other threads are
- not affected. However, on targets lacking this functionality, the
- global LC_NUMERIC locale is set to “C” during the formatted I/O.
- Thus, on such targets it’s not safe to call <code>setlocale</code>
- concurrently from another thread while a Fortran formatted I/O
- operation is in progress. Also, other threads doing something
- dependent on the LC_NUMERIC locale might not work correctly if a
- formatted I/O operation is in progress in another thread.
