在线程中使用 std::string 函数是否安全？ (c++)

Question

i want to make a thread in a dll that will make some web requests. in the thread now i use std::sting functions (c_str(), at(), find(), substr()) and (string + string). as i know the threads running asynchronously, and also i found out if i call 1 function 2 times at the same time(1 from main program and 1 from thread) will cause problems/crash i guess because both using the same memory?

so now if i do many web requests very fast i crash sometimes. i think it's because using at the same time 2 times a std::string function. Also if this is maybe cause the problem is there any other way i can use for that work?

Answer 1

Are you sharing the same std::string object across two threads? If so (and that object is being modified by one thread while the other thread is also trying to use it), that would cause undefined behavior, unless you protect those accesses with some form of synchronisation (such as a mutex ).

If OTOH the two threads are each operating on their own separate/private std::string objects, that won't cause a problem.
