Threads and Local Variables

[Brent Boshart]

If I have two threads running the same function are local variables with the function private for each thread?

Yes.

Brent,

When you use a LOCAL variable, it is allocated in a section of memory called
the stack. This allocation takes place as the function/sub is called and it
is deleted when the function/sub is finished so it simply does not exist
anywhere else when the function/sub is not running.

If you need to have a value that is available across diferent functions, use
a GLOBAL variable that can be "seen" from diferent aprts of your code.

Thanks. I just was not sure what happened when two threads ran the function simultaneously.
