[gdal-dev] Call for review on RFC 101: Raster dataset read-only thread-safety

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

I've worked on a new RFC 101: Raster dataset read-only thread-safety: 
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/10676

Summary: This RFC enables users to get instances of GDALDataset (and 
their related objects such as GDALRasterBand) that are thread-safe for 
read-only raster operations, that is such instances can be safely used 
from multiple threads without locking.

It is backed by a preliminary implementation (fairly complete, apart 
from writing new tests...). There's at least one open question raised in 
the RFC.

PS: you can see one of the benefits of the migration of the doc to 
ReadTheDocs hosting, with the preview of the updated documentation in 
pull requests. So this is a way to mention that the move to RtD hosting 
has now been completed, with the default version ("latest") reflecting 
the state of the master branch, as well as the version for the 
release/3.9 branch. Thanks to Dan Baston (and other people involved) for 
this work! There might be a few adjustments needed, so if you notice 
something unusual w.r.t. to the previous state, please file a ticket.
