By putting EVERYTHING with __declspec(thread)? That's not right either, as it
completely prevents sharing. And the Windows DLL malloc model isn't the same
Unix/Linux.
Enough pedanticism. Most objects aren't safe to be used by multiple threads at
the same time; they're not designed for that kind of simultaneous use model.
Almost anything that has "context" in it is generally intended to hold the
state for something and be uniquely used. (SSL and SSL_CTX are notable
counter-examples.)
