Re: Mixing THREADSAFE and non-THREADSAFE code in the same

I cannot find reference anywhere to using non-THREADSAFE code (e.g.,
third-party libraries) along with THREADSAFE code. Is this permissible
in a Carbon app?

If you use non-thread-safe code, you need to get it to execute in the main task (via MPRemoteCall or Carbon Event). I've had to do this to call third-party libraries.

More to the point -- may I use THREADSAFE C/C++/MSL (CodeWarrior)
libraries to create a library containing only an MPTask then use the
latter in a Carbon project with non-THREADSAFE MSL libraries?

My guess is you'll get a lot of link errors -- in MSL, everything has the same name whether it's thread-safe or not.
