Summary

Make the necessary changes to allow the safe use in a multi-threaded environment

  • Protect statics: make them const or thread\_local
  • Improve const-correctness of many functions
  • Make thread\_local the RNG, particle property table, external factory, decay tables, and sym tables
  • Add explicit mutexing to non-thread-safe externals (Sherpa, Tauola, Photos)
  • Propagate the EvtGen seed to the Fortran RNG in Tauola
  • Some fixes to EvtBtoXsEtap and EvtBtoXsgamma
  • Reorganise test code for multi-threading
Test Plan

Tests give identical results to master branch.
Tests give identical results regardless of number of threads used.
