Hi,
I've been encountering some intermittent misbehaviour from dblib. In
particular, it often occurs during system startup when performing a
tdsdbopen().
I've had a look at the code and I can not see how it could possibly
be thread safe. In particular, due to the concurrent access that
occurs within tdsdbopen() and a number of other functions, corruption
of g_dblib_ctx is almost guaranteed.
Will there be any objection from the maintainers should I submit a patch
that puts mutexes (wrapped in #ifdefs) inside dblib? If not, is there
a pre-processor variable already in use for thread-safety that I should
use?
Thanks.
