[Soot-list] Multithreading

[Steven Arzt]

Hi Ding,

A few of the processing steps inside Soot already use multiple threads. 
Since Soot was, however, never designed as a multi-threaded framework, 
it requires careful checking whenver you try to access some Soot object 
from multiple threads in parallel. I won't say it's impossible, but it 
can be quite tricky. I hope that we will be able to do some refactoring 
in the future that makes it easier to use Soot in a multi-threaded 
program. At the moment, there are quite a few globally shared static 
fields that can give you a headache.

Best regards,
   Steven
