Re: Delete a list item from a separate thread safe?

That's bad news for how I was planning to impliment this. Essentially the
items will be added to the list in one thread (a thread in a exe calling
my dll) and time stamped.

I need to periodically scan the list in another thread (lives in the dll)
and "age" the entries, deleting old entries past a certain expiration
time.

I'd suggest a strategy where you check out an entry (list::splice()!) in a
critical section and then manipulate it accordingly and check it back in in
another critical section. Alternatively, you could trigger aging the
entries after finishing your work on each entry, I guess it's not critical
that it is done in a guaranteed time (equivalent to soft realtime instead
of hard realtime).
