SetPosition and mutex. Anyway inbuilt way to avoid?

[mercurio7891]

Hi, is there anyway inbuilt thread safe flag in sfml which I can specify to allow calls to be thread safe? or do I have to manually wrap every sfml call with a mutex.

for e.g sf::Window::SetPosition which can be access from multiple thread.

Must I have a mutex for every SetPosition call?

regards

SFML is not thread safe, you have to protect yourself the variables that may be accessed by multiple threads. Which is by the way far more optimal than providing thread-safety by default in SFML.

Wrapping anything with mutexes or the like is far from optimal and more or less works against parallel programming. Making SFML thread-safe by default wouldn't help, actually be bad.
