BTW. 1: I remember that the Delphi 4? string handling was not multi
processor save.
I know. Thread in c.p.l.m last week.

memory management was not even thread save.
Depends on major version. 1.1.x/1.9.x is for a year or two, though bugs
were fixed for a while after that, 1.0.x stil is not.
There is a standard simple threadvar test in the testsuite that adds a
character to a string in 10 different threads, and that works on all
4 major archs (PPC,x86_64 , x86 and Sparc(32+64)), don't know about ARM.

Is the FP memory management and string handling (and other basic stuff)
thread and multi processing save now ?
It should be thread safe. There are some duals here and there, so I think
most is also MP safe, but I don't think that has tested enough to be sure.
