What to pass to thread for dynamic memory

Hello I came across a question about thread and heap memory : What should be passed to thread function ? 1. shared pointer 2. Raw pointer 3. Shared pointer with reference 4. Any other better choice

Generally it is good to avoid anything shared when working with threads, unless the shared resource is carefully guarded to prevent race conditions and gridlock. I cast my vote for "2. raw pointer" so the thread may own the allocated memory exclusively.

Thanks.... AFIK, heap is not safe across the threads.... stack is threadsafe but not heap... So , is it not safe either we pass it as shared or raw... correct or Am i missing something ?
