Edit Question
Title
Body
The background is in this question of mine. Put shortly, I have to fork in a multithreaded C++ program, so I'd like to figure out how much I can do when restricted to reentrant functions only, and one of the most essential things is dynamic memory. So, malloc is known to be non-reentrant . But what about C++'s new ? I googled for that with not many relevant results (mostly due to the difficulty to hit the correct "new"), but there is at least one claim that new is reentrant . There is also a relevant question concerning the whole C++ standard library with no satisfying answer. Edit: I guess the standard didn't say anything about this, so I'm mostly concerned about major implementations.
