Justin Ross updated PROTON-30:

> The driver cannot be cleanly used in a multi-threaded application due to
> pn_driver_wait
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: PROTON-30
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-30
> Project: Qpid Proton
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: proton-c
> Reporter: Ted Ross
> Assignee: Alan Conway
>
> An efficient multi-threaded application based on proton-c will want to have
> one thread blocked on pn_driver_wait if there's no other work for it to do.
> Unfortunately, pn_driver_wait does thread-unsafe things with internal driver
> data structures before and after it blocks on the FD set.
> The alternatives are to quiesce all threads prior to calling pn_driver_wait
> (which is undesirable for performance reasons) or to divide pn_driver_wait
> into three sections, the first and third of which can be invoked with a lock
> held and the second of which (the poll call) can be invoked without a lock.
> Alternatively, a driver API better suited to multi-threading could be
> developed.
