Hi,

Thanks for the helps and ClearSilver runs flawlessly on my machine.

So I'm curiosity on the tips/best practices of its usage under multi-thread=
ing environment.

The sample code is listed as following:
- callback is the function.
- both cs and hdf are shared pointers.
- output is a local ctx pointer.

<code>
cs->hdf =3D hdf;=20
cs_render(cs, &output, &callback);  // Do I need to put a lock here?
</code>

My understanding is that if the cs_render actually doesn't change the struc=
ture of either cs or hdf, the lock is not needed (thus won't hurt the perfo=
rmance).  Does it sound?

Thanks,
Jacky
