[Mapserver-dev] Thread safety question

[Steve Lime]

You are correct, the lexer produced by flex is not thread safe. Bison
can create a thread-safe parser so if we could find (or write *yuck*) a
thread-safe lexer that intergrates with bison we'd be ok. Someone
mention a lexer called lemon as an option. I've not had time to pursue
though.

I noticed in msEvalExpression --- case(MS_EXPRESSION) --- that the
lexer is
being used.  Does that imply that a map that used this type of
expression
would not be thread safe as it is currently written?
