[vlc-devel] [PATCH 2/4] libvlc: media_player: use vlc_atomic_rc for refcount

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

Hi,

I don't really the point in using an atomic variable if it can't avoid the 
mutex. Furthermore, using a media player from different threads does not make 
much practical sense. Even if the code is safe against data races, the 
behaviour will be poorly defined if two threads perform different operations 
simultaneously.
