[GiNaC-list] using GiNaC in a multithreaded environment

[Vladimir V. Kisil]

	Hello,

	I do not think multi-threading is possible with GiNaC, you may
  want to read one of the past discussion of this starting from here: 

https://www.ginac.de/pipermail/ginac-list/2010-August/001715.html

  Best wishes,
  Vladimir

    > } }

    >     for(int r = 0; r < n; ++r) { for(int c = 0; c < n; ++c) {
