As a follow-up, I've converted the parser to use shared_ptr instead,
and this actually fixed the problem when running the test in bicg.m.
But I still experienced crashes, so I continued digging and converted
dim_vector class, which I had forgotten. However this still didn't
solve the issue, so I ran octave within valgrind/drd and
discovered/realized that the octave_allocator class is not
thread-safe... [1]
The question is: how to make the octave_allocator thread-safe? For
instance I could use a mutex within the octave_allocator class, but
will that degrade performances significantly? Does it make sense then
to keep the specific allocator?
Michael.
[1] It seems the octave_allocator class is responsible for a large
part of valgrind output.
