There may be other differences but your specific post destroys the concept entirely. If you gave a quick code example then I'm sure you'd get a lot of upvotes. e.g. MyFunc(){x=globalVar * 5; // ....Some other processing; y=globalVar*34;//Ooops, some other thread could have changed globalVar during Some other processing and x and y are using different values for globalVar in their calculations, which would almost certainly not give desirable results. | |

For example, errno in C.
