Is a readonly field in C# thread safe? public class Foo { private readonly int _someField; public Foo() { _someField = 0; } public Foo(int someField) { _someField = someField; } public void SomeMethod() { doSomething(_someField); } } Have gone through some posts: What are the benefits to marking a field as readonly in C#? - JaredPar suggests that readonly fields once constructed are immutable and hence safe. Readonly Fields and Thread Safety , suggests that there is some risk if constructors do a lot of work. So, if the readonly field is used as in the code above, and constructors are light, is it thread-safe? What if _someField is a referrence type (e.g. an array of strings)?
