i should lock that too? but those threads are somewhere else ! only main
thread is doing the assignment! how would locking help main ? would locking
pause all these threads ?
and what do you mean by :

//* copy id objects here to some local array*

 whats your meaning about id objects ? did you mean the thread id ? , whats
the local array ? an array declared inside that function ? (would be shared
among other threads too right? then whats the point? )
Thank you again for your help sir :)
