Huh?

If I have 37 threads, all calling a large function 'f', are the formal parameters thread safe?

That is, will the formal parameters be trashed? Do you need to use locks or semaphores before using formal parameters? Are the labels for
formal parameters static?

If I have 73 threads, all calling a large function 'f', are the local values thread safe? Does each thread maintain it's own stack? Are the labels for local values stack-based?
