The criterion is not whether the platform has _r libraries, it's whether special actions are required in order to make a library fit for threaded programs, at the time that library is built. Such special actions may include:
No, there's one more criterion: And those special actions make the library unsuitable for use in programs not compiled to use threads.
For example, on Debian *all* libraries are compiled with -D_REENTANT -fPIC. Anything else would be a major headache for the distribution.
I believe that FreeBSD still needs 2, but there are 3 different threading libs at
It causes a 3-5% performance drop on i386 and much less on other architectures. However then all libraries are suitable for use in both threaded and non-threaded applications.
There may still be some architectures out there where two versions are needed. But I'm not aware of any.
the moment on 5.x, and 4.x still has _r libs.
