Hi Even

Thanks for the reply. I ran your code and it doesn't block with your sample tiff file. It blocks with any .pix files (driver: PCIDSK Database File) with the output being:

*********************
in thread
finished
********************/

/I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and have GDAL 1.7 on my system installed through the package manager.
CPL_MULTIPROC_PTHREAD is 1.

When I debug the program with gdb and reach the line that blocks, gdb blocks along with the line. I also can't step into the call to GDALChecksumImage.
Of course I might be debugging it wrong.

Any ideas?

James,

what you see is a bit surprising...

Do you build GDAL by yourself or use a packaged version ? If you build it
yourself, you explicitely need to specify --with-threads at ./configure time
(unless you use the latest trunk version where it is now the default). In
port/cpl_multiproc.h, you can see #define CPL_MULTIPROC_PTHREAD 1 if everything
works. If you have only the .so, you can for example try using the
CPLCreateThread() method. If it returns -1, then you have the stub
implementation.

Could you try compiling and running the following code that is an attempt to
have a minimum scenario that reproduces what you descrbe ?

****************************************

#include<gdal.h>
#include<gdal_alg.h>
#include "cpl_multiproc.h"

void my_thread(void* pData)
{
     GDALDatasetH hDS;
     int checksum;
     hDS = (GDALDatasetH)pData;

     printf("in thread\n");
     checksum = GDALChecksumImage(GDALGetRasterBand(hDS, 1), 0, 0, 20, 20);
     printf("checksum = %d\n", checksum);
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
     GDALDatasetH hDS;
     GDALAllRegister();
     hDS = GDALOpen("byte.tif", GA_ReadOnly);
     CPLCreateThread(my_thread, hDS);
     CPLSleep(2);
     printf("finished\n");
     return 0;
}

It works fine for me. The byte.tif is available at
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/export/20628/trunk/autotest/gcore/data/byte.tif

Otherwise, which OS are you using ?  which GDAL version ? Which GDAL driver is
used by your dataset ? etc etc ? If you run it under gdb, what is the stack
trace when it is blocked ?

Hi

I am opening a GDALDataset in my main thread which I then pass to a
second thread for processing. Only the second thread accesses the dataset.

As soon as the thread makes a call to GDALRasterBand::RasterIO() the
thread blocks indefinitely.

Could you please explain to me why this is happening?

Also, how do I check whether my build of GDAL was built with the
--with-threads option enabled?

Thanks

James
