Dear Roberto,
Yes, I think it would be nice and important to make the PPL thread safe. I and my student Youcheng Sun are willing to give an help. In the next days we have a deadline for a paper, however I am going to put it in my todo list as well!
Thank you very much for the hard work you put in the library.

Dear all,
is it possible to use the PPL in a multi-threaded program?
We are writing a tool for real-time scheduling analysis, and we would like to parallelise the analysis.
However, after a few naive tries, the program crashes unpredictably, so I suspect that maybe there is a problem in the library?
Thanks in advance for your answer

Dear Giuseppe,
as of today, the PPL implementation assumes a single thread of execution. We did investigate the possibility of making the library thread-safe, and doing that is in our TODO list. The main issue is with the handling of temporaries, which should not be difficult to solve. If having the PPL thread-safe is important to you and you are willing to help to achieve that, please let me know. Kind regards,
Roberto
