Nope. shared is a type modifier that signifies the data is not 
guaranteed to be thread-local (and as such can be passed between 
threads). It generates no extra code and has no special ordering 
or atomicity guarantees.

The way I look at it, shared is roughly equivalent to normal 
C/C++ variables.
