I have a Microsoft application with multiple tabs / property pages.
Each tab is controlled by a separate class. I have a separate instance
of GDAL in each class. I also had an instance in a popup that I used to
connect to the database. After the user logins and the popup window
goes away it seems that I have to reregister the OGR drivers in the tabs
as if the OGRCleanupAll in the destructor of the popup was being applied
to the instances in the tabs as well.
Is GDAL / OGR reentrant? Can we have multiple instances that act
independently?
Bruce,
GDAL/OGR is endeavors to achieve some forms of re-entrancy. In particular
it should be possible to have distinct threads accessing distinct
GDALDataset objects in read-only mode for "well behaved" drivers. This
is also generally true of OGRDataSource objects.
However, a call to OGRCleanupAll() or other similar funcitions that
tear down the environment should only generally be done on application
exit, not cleanup of a single thread.
Best regards,
