Hi, I wonder if STL is thread-safe or how can I feel safe if I share a STL
container in mutiple threads.
I use VC++6.0.
Thank you!

I'd like to know what exactly you mean what you say that something is
thread safe. Until now, I was thinking that it meant that it can be used
across threads without the fear of reading a value being modified, or
simultaneously writing to the same variable/resource. But, does it mean
that the code is amenable to mutex protection, as in if you put a mutex
around that piece of code, then it will work with multiple threads?
