When compiling ClamAV (or any application) to be multi-threaded on
Solaris, it's important to use "-D_REENTRANT" if the source depends on any
(well only certain ones, but just to be safe, "any" is fine) of the stock
Solaris header files. I noticed that a few of the ClamAV source files do
define "_REENTRANT", but clamd seems to be lacking the definition in
general. The tricky part is that you won't get compiler errors or
warnings if you don't define "_REENTRANT", but multi-threaded programs
will likely crash for seemingly no reason if you don't define it. One
prime example of the difference is how "errno" is implemented differently
for a multi-threaded program - see /usr/include/errno.h on Solaris.
If nothing else, food for thought...
Cheers,
Ed
