AFAIK mutlithreading is not part of the C standard.  If you asked this
in comp.lang.c you could probbly get shouted at.

trpically "auto" variables are private to your thread and globals and
static variables are shared betwen threads.  library functions that
were implemented using static variables are not "thread safe" and hee
are often thread safe variants privided

some vendors provide a mechanism for some static variables to be made
private to the thread. check your compiler documentation

not sure what you mean.
