Thread safety reference?



I know the HIToolbox folks have done a good job of documenting the thread
safety status for their APIs, but other teams haven't earned such high marks
in this area. As I make more use of threads in my application, I thought it
would make sense to inventory some of my utility functions and determine
*their* thread safety, which means I need to know if the APIs they call are
thread safe. Unfortunately, it doesn't take long to find APIs whose thread
safety is not documented in the headers. So:

- Is there an API by API reference for this other than the headers?

- Are there broad technologies which are known to be thread safe, such as
Core Foundation (or subsets of CF such as CFMutableString APIs) and if so,
where is *that* documented?

Thanks,

Larry
