Threads accessing same buffer

[vish09]

I have a big buffer that I want to share between threads, each thread will always be reading from different parts of the buffer (never from the same part), so should i use different pointers with appropriate offset, or is this result in some error, or datarace.

If you can be absolutely certain that no to threads will be writing to the same bit of memory - i.e. the same elements of the array - then it should be safe giving each thread an offset so that it can write to its own exclusive bit of the array.

Works OK with WIN32 APIs with Windows.

Thanks for clearing my doubts.
