Description
The behavior of the library in the presence of threads is incompletely specified.
For example, if thread 1 assigns to X, then writes data to file f, which is read by thread 2, and then accesses variable X, is thread 2 guaranteed to be able to see the value assigned to X by thread 1? In other words, does the write of the data "happen before" the read?
Another example: does simultaneous access using operator at() to different characters in the same non-const string really introduce a data race?
