[thelist] a simple question on threading ?

[VOLKAN ÖZÇELİK]

The terms "thread-aware" and "thread-safe" are generally used
interchangebly. Is there a clear-cut difference between them ?

This question has been messing up my mind for several weeks, I just
wanted to share it:

I mean can we strictly define

"A thread-aware object is an object with bla bla bla ..."

and

"A thread-safe object is an object which has bla bla bla ... properties"



Any opinions?
