I have one doubt, so if anybody has some experience or opinion with following issue I would like to hear :
The question is:
I have large list (TList) filled with objects. Each object, inside, also have some list of objects and big record of data (about 8K of integer, strings etc).
For some reason I need to loop through list and calculate some numbers.
Also I need to have many threads doing the same thing - Reading objects in list and calculating data.
At some point of time it will also need update, inserrt and delete of list, but for now I only do reading.
Loading of objects I do at startup only.
Question: Is it possible for many threads to loop through TList of objects at same time. I can not have copy of objects for each thread, instead I have only one copy of objects and I want threads to "simultaneously' read the same data. I'm aware of TThreadList and I'm aware of mutexes, semaphore and stuff like that, but question is can I use the same memory from many threads at same time, without, lets say dead locks or some other strange behavior.
Thanks for opinion in advance.
Regards, Dinko
